On October 10, 2004, Greg Rhomberg and the Antique Warehouse Staff hosted an open house.  Some of the highlights from the collection of antiques and memorabilia included a photo booth, an Allan Herschell Carousel, antique fire trucks, vintage camper collection, classic cars, trucks, tractors, and horse drawn vehicles, classic soda machines, and arcade and pinball machines.  An added attraction was created by the many guests that drove their own classic cars to the event, where reserved parking was provided.

    While guests of all ages viewed the thousands of items in the collection, they could enjoy a number of fun and interesting activities that include taking a miniature train ride, petting farm animals in the petting zoo, pony rides, jumping in the moon bounce, wondering through the straw maze, taking a swing at the hi-striker, or picking a pumpkin from the pumpkin patch.  There was even a magician performing a array of tricks and a clown painting faces and creating balloon animals.

 

     While enjoying all of these activities guests could indulge their sweet tooth with old-fashion glass bottled soda, penny candy, popcorn, ice cream, caramel apples, funnel cakes, cotton candy, and many other tasty treats.

     Greg would like to express his appreciation to his family, friends, and volunteer staff that made this open house a great success.  Thank you to those who sent thank you cards and e-mails.
