A word from the Antiques in the Heart of Aiken 2013 Co-Chairs:

          

Welcome from the Co-Chairs


Welcome to the 14th Annual "Antiques in the Heart of Aiken Show and Sale" and another extraordinary experience in the world of decorative arts. Our year of planning promises to bring a wonderful array of exhibitors with unique and high quality pieces. Please enjoy the show, dine at the Sweetheart Cafe and learn from our expert lecturers.

This fundraiser would not be possible without the many volunteers that share their time and talent. Their work is one of love and dedication. The proceeds from the show will keep the Art Center a viable and valuable entity that contributes to the entire Aiken area community.

We appreciate your interest and support and we welcome your participation in the volunteer effort for next year's event.

Thank you,
Jean Schwalbert and Sandra Terry
2013 Co-Chairs
