Fun-filled Antique Week has multitude of events to draw you to Lincoln City Lincoln City’s Antique Week is cele- brating Lincoln City’s 50 th anniversary with this year’s theme of Cheers to 50 Years! Antique Week is actually 10 fun-filled days of antiquing from Feb. 7-16. The schedule includes a scavenger hunt, an “Appraise-a-thon,” an engaging lecture, historic city bus tours, a Valentine’s Day concert and dance lesson, glass floats on the beach, special attractions at the North Lincoln County Historical Museum and Driftwood Public Library, a Members’ Antique Sale at the Lincoln City Cultural Center, Saturday movies from 1965 (the year Lincoln City officially became a city) at the Bijou Theatre and sales in almost every antique shop in town. The event will kick off with the “Appraise-a-thon” from 1-3 p.m. on Feb. 7 at Chinook Winds Casino Resort. Frank Farmer Loomis IV, a former appraiser for Antiques Roadshow and writer/co-producer of the PBS television series Is It Antique Yet?, will appraise antiques and collectibles for a fee of $10 per item or three items for $20 (in celebra- tion of Chinook Winds’ 20 th anniversary). To reserve a spot, call 541-996-5815. Directly following the Appraise- a-thon, Loomis will give a lecture at 3 p.m. on the topic Antiques 101: A Crash Course in Antiquing. Loomis’ speaking style has been described as lively, laced with anecdotes, often humorous and never boring. The talk is free and sponsored by the Lincoln City Cultural Center and Chinook Winds Casino Resort. A scavenger hunt will take place over the 10 days with participants visiting local antique shops to find questions and cor- responding answers to trivia of Lincoln City history. Maps and entry forms are available at antique dealers and at the Cul- tural Center. Correctly answered entries will receive a chance to spin the “prize wheel” (every spin wins!).
