The Antiques & Collectibles Show at Brimfield, Massachusetts

Three miles west of Adventure Resorts of America Sturbridge is the town of Brimfield.  City-Data.com lists the population of this town at 3,609.  Eric and I happen to be here during the Antique and Collectibles Show.  This small town is hosting thousands of antique and collectibles dealers and the many thousands of visitors at this event.

Shoppers pay to park.
