Intermediate League’s antiques show funds 14 community projects
BUTLER TWP — Kathy Ligdae had been waiting for this weekend for three years.
The Zelienople native has attended the annual antiques show and sale, hosted by the Greater Federation of Women’s Club Intermediate League of Butler, every year until the coronavirus pandemic put it on hold in 2020.
Ligdae returned to the Tanglewood Center for the event Sunday, on her personal treasure hunt.
“I like pretty much any kind of antique,” Ligdae said. “I like jewelry, furniture, decorations — I collect them.”
Tables and shelves at the Tanglewood Center, from Friday to Sunday, were filled with antiques from 40 vendors from around the state, and beyond, for the fundraising event. One corner of the center had a model airplane on display surrounded by a group of smaller models, and another room housed a Jesus statue next to a costume of Oogie Boogie from “The Nightmare Before Christmas.” Cases of jewelry and collectibles were interspersed with furniture and glassware from different decades.
Ligdae was thrilled with the selection at the 70th anniversary of the antiques show and sale.
