Rudyard Appraisal Fair Draws 100 Items

The Rudyard Historical Society's third annual antique appraisal fair October 20 was a big success, said secretary Elaine Sprague, with people coming from many surrounding towns to have their items evaluated by Doug and Jean LaFoille and crew from the Auction Block at Manistique. Two of the items evaluated were an antique beaded papoose doll and beaded bag brought in by Kathy Campbell and her daughter, Jenny, of St. Ignace. More than 100 items were evaluated, refreshments and lunch were served, and a bake sale was held. Proceeds benefit historical society programs. (Photograph courtesy of Rudyard Historical Society)
