The GFWC Intermediate League of Butler's Annual Antiques Show & Sale will return this weekend for its 71st year of offering unique items to its attendees and financial aid to local nonprofits.

The show begins with an opening night from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. March 17 at the Tanglewood Center, 10 Austin Ave., Lyndora. The sale will continue from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. March 18 and from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. March 19.

Proceeds will go to fund local nonprofit organizations, said Yolanda Cypher, publicity chairman for the show.

Last year the GFWC donated $12,680 to 14 groups. Those groups were the Children’s Advocacy Center of Butler County, Butler Art Center, Butler County Symphony, Butler Area Public Library, Jean B. Purvis Community Health Center, Fishbone Ministries, Grapevine Center, Kids Weekend Backpack Program, Maridon Museum, Meals on Wheels, Tanglewood Center, Musical Theatre Guild, Friends of Preston Park Foundation and the YMCA.

Cypher said this year’s show is the second after a two-year hiatus because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The stoppage didn’t seem to affect last year’s attendance. Cypher said, “We had even more attend than in previous years. I think it was people just wanting to get out.”
