Antique Alley Texas - 25 Miles of Shopping |
News BLAST! Itasca, TX has jumped into the fray! Antique Alley Texas has grown to 37 miles of treasure hunting! Look for exciting changes to this website as we grow the show to include our southern neighbor in Hill county! Antique tractors, cars, trucks and stuff like that are commonplace here in this farming community. In the spring, it is not uncommon to see those crazy crop dusters fertilizing their fields - suicide pilots looks more like it! Itasca leaders branded themselves long ago as the “Big Little Town.” Be sure to visit the Itasca train depot and museum - it's cool and very groovy! Folks, there is a lot of history in this community - a.k.a. more barns to be cleaned out and farm home families that will jump on board for a yard sale. Itasca also sports many locals that handcraft everything from quilts to jewelry to one-of-kind home décor items. Whew! We are so excited . . . Visit our news link to learn more.
(Only in downtown Grandview) Fridays and Saturdays are best because for religious reasons, a lot of the Vendors and Dealers do not set up on Sunday at all. Sundays are good during the show, just not as crazy as Friday and Saturday.
Folks, we don't text, no twitter/tweets; just old fashioned email and telephones (cell of course). We don't own a smart phone or an iPad. We are self proclaimed tree huggers - too busy staring at birds, flowers and bees to be glued to some gadget. When we are not studying God's critters and stuff, we look up into the sky - especially at night; when the stars are bright. Click on the Contact Us page to send an inquiry.
Antique Alley Texas spans the historic communities of Itasca, Grandview, Cleburne and Maypearl. A map is forth-coming and the route to Itasca tracks south down highway 81 from downtown Grandview. The route to Cleburne/Maypearl remains the same: via FM 4 (S) to FM 916 (which turns into FM 66 as you enter Ellis county). This show is unique because of the miles and miles of shows and sales organized by independent landowners, small businesses and individual entrepreneurs. You may stumble upon a beautiful ranch or quaint farm where the landowner is hosting an antique show with specialty dealers coming from all over the United States to sell their wares, or you may find a place where they've just cleaned out Grandpa's barn! There are fundraisers for local churches and schools, live entertainment and something fun for the entire family! Itasca, Grandview and Maypearl line their streets with vendors, musical entertainment and festival style foods. Rumor has it farmer's markets offering locally grown fruit and produce are the way!
Scenic adventure filled shopping is the name of the game here where you can enjoy hunting for that "one of a kind" item you've always been looking for. Great food, good fun and a wonderful way to spend a weekend! Antique Alley Texas occurs twice per year on the third Friday, Saturday & Sunday each April and September.
The vendor fees collected advertise each show - so if Mother Nature brings us rain, then you get out your mud boots and rain slicker! Remember when we were kids playing in the rain and mud? Well, be a kid again when the moment warrants it! Be safe; if it's lightening, duck indoors until that is over. Vendors will uncover their tables immediately when the rain stops. In the mean-time, browse indoors and bring your appetite!
