Dale and Karen Niedzwiecki have promoted and managed the Utica Antiques Market for nine years, but the market itself has been going strong for 30 years. Over 100 vendors set up for this outdoor antiques mall that is held three times a year during the summer. There were dealers from Wisconsin, Ohio, Illinois, and half of the dealers do all three of their shows. If you missed out on the May exhibition, the next market will be on July 11-12 with the third one, Sept. 12-13, being the last show of the year.

The Niedzwieckis told us the highly sought after items this show were windows; yes, I said windows. “Anything rustic,” said Karen. She said the attendance for the May 9-10 show is usually the largest, boasting 5,000 thru the gate due to it being Mother’s Day and moms and daughters seem to pair up to spend the day there.

We enjoyed the show and always walk away with some, or multiple, collectibles ourselves. We took some photos of the event, so enjoy those and then enjoy the outdoors at the two remaining shows this summer.
