The Westlake Historical Society's 44th annual Antique Vintage & Craft Show will be held Sunday, July 20, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The show includes antique, vintage and craft vendors; a plant sale; good food; cold drinks; a silent auction; and tours of the historic Clague House Museum. House tours are free and begin at noon.

Admission to the show is still only $3 per person; children under 12 are admitted free. Pets on leashes are welcome. The rain date for the event is July 27.

Proceeds benefit the Westlake Historical Society. The funds raised are needed to help cover our Clague House utility costs, alarm system and our insurance costs, as well as for general upkeep of the museum. The money raised also ensures that our "Life In The Past Lane" programs continue to reach the children and groups within the community.

The popular silent auction returns this year. The society is still accepting donated items for the auction; those interested should call 440-808-1961, or email westlakehistory@yahoo.com. The museum is currently open to the public on certain days, and also by special appointment.

The antique show is our largest fundraiser of the year. We will have more than 50 vendors at the event, as well as community groups and animal rescue organizations.

Openings are still available for antique/vintage dealers at the show. Please call 440-808-1961 or westlakehistory@yahoo.com for more information.
