Central Oregon Coast Town Brings in Masses for Antique Week
 |
| Lincoln City |
(Lincoln City, Oregon) – The central Oregon coast town of Lincoln City gets flooded in early February with its massive Antique Week 2007, which will again host HGTV's former "Collector Inspector,” Harry Rinker. The gargantuan festival happens February 9 - 19, in various places around Lincoln City, and includes special appearances by Rinker, workshops, in-home appraisals, and appraise-a-thons.
The Antique Week festival kicks off with Lincoln City’s “Paint the Town Red” on February 10th, featuring a number of events that center around and celebrate the color red. These include "Shades of the Redhead Round-up" (a take on the old festival from Depoe Bay from the early part of the century which celebrated women with red hair). There’s a small-scale return of Lincoln City's leading festival of the1930's, "A Night on the Red Carpet," which will feature the ultimate film about the 1950's, "Grease." There’s breakfast with grandma, and Little Red Riding Hood or story time with Clifford the Big Red Dog. There will also be a Scholastic Book Fair and the Red Bull Paper Wings contest.
