STEVEN C. PHILLIPS 53 W. SENECA STREET OSWEGO, NY 13126 - 315.439.2040

Dear Potential Exhibitor;

My name is Steven Phillips and I am the chairperson for the 20^th Annual Oswego County Antique Show located on the campus of SUNY Oswego September 10, 11 and 12, 2010. I am writing you to invite you to participate in our show.

As background, I have run a large successful business in Syracuse, NY for the past 30 years and am bringing the same business approach to this show as I have my business. We have established an advertising budget and identified our markets and will do our very best to make this show a bigger success than it has been for the past 20 years.

You may recognize my name as I have been an avid collector and part-time dealer of antiques for the past 35 years and most likely been in your store at one time or another.

About the show:  The Heritage Foundation of Oswego County (http://oswegocountyheritage.org/) has presented their annual Antique Show during Oswego's HarborFest since 1989. Due to a scheduling date change and resulting conflict with The Great American AntiqueFest the Oswego County Show has been rescheduled and expanded to Sept 10-12.       .

The Shows location has also been changed and will now take place in Laker Hall on the SUNY Oswego Campus. Laker Hall is easy to find, easy to get to, unload and load from, with tons of parking.

The show has a 3 day schedule including an Early Buyers Wine and Cheese Reception Friday Night from 7-9PM after set up. Set up is Friday from 9AM-6PM. Saturday the show will be open from 10am-5pm and Sunday 10am-4pm.

The show will be advertised in the Rochester, Syracuse and Northern NY markets as well as worldwide on the Web. The show draws an average of 1,000 customers per day for the general admission. The "Early Buyers Reception" is a new addition and we believe it will bring out our best supporters and your best potential customers. Additionally the shows new location will provide exposure to an additional 12,000 potential new customers (students, facility and staff) with classes being in session at SUNY Oswego.

Generous over-sized booths are available and offered at a 50% discount for dealers who commit early. A 10'x20' space usually runs $250.00 but is being offered for $125.00 if you sign up and make the deposit before July 10, 2010.  Likewise, a 20'x20' space regularly $450.00 is available for $225.00. These discounts are being offered as an incentive to involved additional dealers and help us expand the show.

We have had an excellent response so far with many dealers already signing up. Space is limited and will be available on a first come first served basis.

The Heritage Foundation was established in 1962 to protect and promote the historic and architectural landmarks of Oswego County. Urban Renewal projects demolished much of the commercial district of the east side of the city of Oswego. A group of concerned citizens formed the foundation in an effort to preserve the remaining commercial 19th century buildings in downtown Oswego. Furthermore, The Heritage Foundation provides educational lectures on historic preservation as well as administers a historic preservation grant/loan.
