2 weeks ago

This Sunday, June 6, CollectorFest MONTHLY will be at the same location as we were in May. The Moose Lodge is located in Churchville at #5709 Chili Riga Center Road Churchville, NY 14428. We will continue our FREE admission, GIFT at noon. Hours: 10:00 a.m. until 3:00 p.m.

The “no early entry policy” will continue along with capacity restrictions due to COVID. However, 118 people are allowed inside to shop --triple the buyers that we were allowed at our April location at the JCC.

In May, there was NEVER a line to enter the show so shoppers had no time limits. If a line does exist this Sunday, we are asking shopping guests to enjoy 60-minute sessions of shopping before leaving and getting into line for another one-hour cruise through the 50 tables of “merch.” This is the fair and the right thing to do since we have all been in lingering lines which we all loath.

No more waiver-signing, but continue the social distancing protocol. We would appreciate masks worn by all—but it is optional for those who have been vaccinated. For those that have not been vaccinated, please continue to wear your mask.

Thanks for your support during these trying months as we will start our 22nd year of CollectorFest MONTHY shows this Sunday the 6th,

Ernie & Elissa

P.S. Don’t let that new address scare you if you are from out of town. It will save our Buffalo buyers 52 minutes round trip and only add nine minutes each way if you are coming in from the east. ... See MoreSee Less

90 BUYERS AT THE MOOSE ON MAY 16:

This Sunday, on May 16, Collectorfest MONTHLY will be at a NEW LOCATION at The Moose Lodge #5709 Chili Riga Center Road Churchville, NY 14428. We will continue our FREE admission, GIFT at noon as well as hours of 10:00 a.m. until 3:00 p.m..

We are excited to announce that we are allowed to have 118 total people at this new location given the current guidelines. This means we can have 90 shoppers at one time - not including the 28 dealers. This is more than TRIPLE the buyers that we were allowed at our April location.

Also, we are asking our guests to enjoy 60 minutes of shopping the 50 tables of merchandise before walking out and getting back into line for another one-hour session. This is the fair and the right thing to do since we have all been in lingering lines which we all loath.

Our dealers’ success depends on having enough time to set up properly which happened in April for the first time in 21 years of CollectorFest MONTHLY. We are going to continue the “no early entry” policy to mirror other shows by allowing buyers in the building only after signing the waiver at 10:00. We are also continuing the mandate of mask-wearing over the mouth and nose to keep everyone safe.

Thanks again for your support during these trying times,

Ernie & Elissa

I just did the math with our May 16 location in Churchville at The Moose Lodge #5709 Chili Riga Center Rd, Churchville, NY 14428. I compared it to our old Webster location so here is the skinny: Buffalo travelers will save 26 minutes (that is almost an hour round trip) and Syracuse buyers will add only nine minutes. I hope this helps!! Ernie O. ... See MoreSee Less

Hi,

On May 16, Collectorfest MONTHLY will be at The Moose Lodge in Churchville at #5709 Chili Riga Center Road Churchville, NY 14428.

We are excited to announce that we are allowed to have 118 total people at this new location given the current guidelines. This means we can allow 87 shoppers in at time which is exactly TRIPLE the 29 we were allowed at our April show. And this is in addition to the 31 dealers.

Also, we are asking our guests to enjoy 60 minutes of shopping the 50 tables of merchandise before walking out and getting back into line for another 1-hour session. This is the fair and the right thing to do since we have all been in lingering lines which we all loath.

Lastly, our dealers’ success depends on having enough time to set up properly which happened in April for the first time in 21 years of CollectorFest MONTHLY. We are going to continue the “no early entry” policy to mirror other shows by not allowing buyers in the building before 10:00.

Thanks again for your support during these trying times,
