We met when I was seven, and were instant friends. We played together for years. We moved from Boston to California, went to summer camps, ski trips, and many other overnight stays together.

"If you're diversified enough and know what you're looking for, you still have a chance to hit a home run," Nick Valenti observed from the makeshift office he has set up at Antiques at the Market in southeast Las Vegas, Nev. Amidst a sea of boxes, books, glassware and pottery, he kept busy authenticating a box of antique postcards as he spoke about his "first love" - selling antiques. FULL STORY...
Remember the time when you turned on an album and heard static in the background? That nostalgic sound comes from those good old thirty-three, forty-five and seventy-eight records played all the way through to the mid-eighties.

When Rick Dale was 9 years old, his dad gave him a bike from out of the dumpster, telling him, "if you want something, you have to work for it." He restored that bike for his own and went on to restore other bikes, motorcycles and cars, teaching himself as he went along. That 9-year-old boy now has a son of his own and is the star of the popular reality television show on the History Channel, American Restoration, which is filmed at his shop, Rick's Restorations, in Las Vegas, NV.

It's hard to believe that this will be the 35th year for the Boulder City Spring Jamboree, and the eighth for the Antiques in the Park Show, but it's true! The Country Register of Southern Nevada has sponsored the show for the last eight years, and its publisher, Glena Dunn, has been adding to the excitement for the last three with her Annual Pedal Car Show and Sale. This year will be no different, as Dunn - dubbed "the Pedal Car Princess" - will be displaying over 50 restored and original pedal cars at the park show venue and her antiques shop, Back in Thyme, a short walk away. FULL STORY...
