Find out what your

antique is worth

The Abilene Public Library will host its version of “The Antiques Roadshow” on Tuesday in the main library’s second floor auditorium. Doors open at 6 p.m. and again at 7:30 p.m. in an effort to reduce waiting times and lines. Attendees may bring up to three items per person.

This popular annual event features a wide range of expertise from a number of antique and collectible dealers from the area who will provide a free estimate of value, not a certified appraisal.
