YORK, PENN. — The original 149th semiannual York Antiques Show and Sale is scheduled for Friday, August 31, through Sunday, September 2, at Memorial Hall East at the York Fairgrounds Convention & Expo Center.

Dealers will also be offering Oriental carpets, hooked rugs, samplers and other textiles, quilts, estate jewelry, early kitchen and fireplace items and much more.
