Learn All About Your Antique and Collectible Treasures!

This proved to be a very popular feature when it was first introduced at last year's show! For 2008, drop-in appraisals will be held on both Saturday and Sunday from 10am-5pm on a first-come-first-served basis. Please limit items to those small enough to carry, with a maximum of three items per person allowed. The cost of each verbal appraisal is $5 per item (cash only please). We cannot accept responsibility for the safety of your items, so please take care to wrap fragile pieces well.

The appraisals will be conducted by Gale Pirie, an accredited member of the Canadian Personal Property Appraisers Group with many years of experience in valuing antiques and collectibles for insurance and finance purposes, family division, estates, downsizing and inventories. She recently returned from a busy tour of western cities as an appraiser with the CBC's Canadian Antiques Roadshow, and we're delighted to have her knowledge and expertise at Burnaby Lake for the second year in a row! For more information on other appraisal clinics Gale has been involved in, read these features in the New Westminster Record and the Lloydminster Meridian Booster.
