It's new to you

Anne Brockman

This weekend, Expo Square’s Exchange Center will be full of vintage and antique collectables at the Vintage Tulsa Show, including some incredible finds from a by-gone Tulsa landmark.

According to Show organizers, memorabilia from Bell’s Amusement Park will be for sale this weekend including a select number of bumper cars, canoes, passenger logs from the log ride, signs and a mixture of other items.

I would love to own a piece of Tulsa history like that – but I admit I really don’t have a spot to put a bumper car in my living room.

Along with one-of-a-kind finds like these, the show also features antiques, collectables, toys, primitives, records, jewelry, art, books, clothing, glassware and so much more.

Also, this weekend’s show will feature a special preview exhibit from the Tulsa Deco Museum, which plans to open this spring in downtown’s Philcade building.

Brides-to-be will also love to see the vintage wedding fashions and accessories the Vintage Tulsa Show will highlight with a special display. Bridal bouquets made from vintage costume jewelry will be available for purchase as well. What a special touch for an upcoming wedding.

More than 60 vendors from across country will showcase and sell their wares at the Tulsa show.

I can’t wait to see what I can find for myself in this one-stop treasure shop.
