Specialty Antique and Collector Shows in Colorado...

If you love cool stuff from the past - or the hottest collectibles of today ... then you've come to the right place!  I'm Dana Cain, and I run collector shows in Colorado. I've been doing this since 1989, and I LOVE it.

 

I love collecting....I started my first collection (toy horses!) when I was 9 years old! Over the years, I've learned to share my passion for collecting with others! I host several antique specialty shows in Colorado, I've written lots of price guides, have run a monthly toy auction, sold tons on eBay, owned a shop, written articles for magazines, and appeared on numerous radio and TV shows talking about collectibles! I've done it all! "Colorado Homes and Lifestyles" magazine and Westword have BOTH even called me "THE QUEEN OF COLLECTIBLES!"

 

 

Nostalgia....

"It's a twinge in your heart far more powerful than memory alone....

It takes us to a place where we ache to go again..."

When her boyfriend, artist Peter Illig, was scouring estate sales for vintage stereos, she was inspired to create the Vintage Voltage Expo. "It's sort of like a cross between a vintage guitar show, a record show, an electronics flea market, an old audio store and a radio swap meet," Cain explained last year. The first Expo was a complete success, featuring approximately 75 vendors and a contest area where collectors could show off pieces to win "voltage bucks." Turntable demos and talks on subjects such as Nikola Tesla were also part of the mix."       Best Arty Markets Dana Cain www.danacain.com   "Dana Cain is so hip it hurts. She has that knack for knowing which old stuff is especially new again, and has used it to build an empire of totally entertaining collectibles expos. First, she's the entrepreneurial brain behind the Collectors Supershow toy extravaganza, which recently joined forces with the Majesticon comics show to provide a double whammy of happy pop-culture hunting under one roof. Last summer she launched the enormously popular Denver Modernism Show, an unbelievable mid-century blowout that will quadruple in size when it returns this August at a larger venue. And her newest take on collectibles-hawking was the recent Vintage Voltage Expo, an electronics-centric show that included everything from vinyl records to guitar amps to old-school audio gear. There's a packrat in each and every one of us, so go, Dana, go!"           Source:   http://www.westword.com/bestof/award.php?award=379292   _________________________________________________________________________   Event Wall Rental I recently bought some great, portable WALLS - suitable for making rows of vendor booths, or for setting up an art show!
