Last weekend turned into a treasure hunt for special knick-knacks and precious keepsakes with this year’s Pakenham Antique and Collectables Fair.
Lovers of all things historic and unique crowded the Cardinia Cultural Centre on Saturday 19 July to find their hidden treasures amongst local collectors.
Hosted by the Rotary Club of Casey, the yearly event not only shows off the wonderful relics of stallholders but also provides an opportunity for residents to engage with a professional appraiser.
Many families raid their grandparents’ house or dust off the family heirloom to find out their true value from David Freeman.
Mr Freeman has been a regular at the annual event and generously donates his $5 valuation fee to the Rotary Club.
The day saw many stories shared and maybe a little bargaining across the 40 stalls, with many leaving the day enriched by their new treasures.
