More than 20 dealers, including several museums, are participating in the Sudbury Antique Show at Exhibition Centre this Saturday and Sunday.

Partial proceeds from the event will go to Organ and Tissue Donation Awareness.
Antique shows are rare in Sudbury because of bylaws that have since been amended.
People are more aware and interested in things old, and not so old, from the 1950s and 1960s. Retro, shabby chic, vintage furniture, clothing and collectibles are hot.
This show will feature both classic antiques such as sideboards and lamps, and Â?cottageÂ? items such as old chintz fabrics and linens.
This show is organized by the same people who bring the Keepsake Crafts Show to Sudbury each year.
The organizers promise a show with no reproductions.
Admission to the show is $4 and this allows unlimited re-entry.
The Sudbury Antique Show runs Saturday from 10 am to 5 pm, and Sunday from 11 am to 4 pm.
The Sudbury Finnish Art Show will be held at Sudbury Finlandia Village, 233 Fourth Ave., Sunday, from 10 am to 4 pm. Door prizes include original works of art donated by Kerttu Haapamaki, Jean Kulmola and Linda Mullola. Admission is $5 and includes refreshments.
The Sudbury Art ClubÂ?s Annual Spring Art Show happens this Saturday from 10 am to 4 pm at the Carmichael Community Centre, 1388 Bellevue Ave. The sale features original and affordable works of art.
The Sudbury Chamber Singers promise audiences their spring concert, Rapture and Frolic, held at Cambrian Theatre, this Saturday, will not only be entertaining but also hilarious. It features music by P.D.Q Bach.
The show starts at 7:30 pm, and tickets are $12 and $10 for seniors and students.
The concert is the first of its kind conducted by the 15-member Sudbury Chamber Singers.
Â?It (the concert) is a mix of serious and comic,Â? said Brace.
The annual Wine Festival takes place Saturday at BrystonÂ?s on the Park, 5 Creighton Rd. in Copper Cliff at 7 pm. (Event is sold-out.)
