(ABC 6 News) – The semiannual Olmsted County Gold Rush Antique Show & Flea Market is taking place at the county fairgrounds for its 52nd year.
The show and market feature hundreds of vendors and dealers both outside and in eight buildings, spread out across the entire 52 acres.
From antique bottle openers to unique glasswork to original Civil War artifacts and memorabilia, the Gold Rush show has just about everything.
But it isn’t all about selling.
For a lot of dealers, it’s the sense of community between them that keeps them coming back.
“The most important thing about being here is you get a chance to sell to all these people, they always draw a good crowd,” said dealer Mike Hammes. “And the best part is they always draw good dealers. If you look around, the quality of the dealers here is exceptional.”
Rochester isn’t the only city hosting a Gold Rush celebration. There’s another one taking place in Downtown Oronoco.
Both events are happening all weekend, and you can find details on the Olmsted County show here and the Oronoco show here.
