What began as a little sale in a friend's barn in 2002, became The Farm Chicks Antiques Show with antiques, vintage objects, handmade goods, and wonderful vendors.  The show, held annually in Spokane, Washington, is host to approximately 200 vendors and draws visitors from across the country.

2012 Show:

Saturday, June 2nd: 10am-6pm & Sunday, June 3rd: 10am-4pm

General Admission: $7 per day. (Parking is free).

General admission tickets will be offered for pre-sale from 3pm-5pm on Friday, June 1st, at the ticket windows at the fairgrounds. General admission tickets will also be sold at the ticket windows throughout the duration of the show, Saturday and Sunday.

Crowds... Saturday is a very busy day at the show, and tends to be very crowded until the mid afternoon. Parents are cautioned that strollers can be difficult to navigate. Baby packs or baby backpacks are highly advised.  If you do not like crowds, we recommend visiting the show on Sunday, as the show is much less crowded and much easier to navigate.  And the best part? Vendors re-stock their booths with unseen goods, just for Sunday's shoppers. 

Show Location:
Spokane County Fair and Expo Center, 404 N. Havana Street, Spokane Valley, Washington. The show is all indoors.

Dining at the Show:
Food and drink is available at the show, as provided by the fairgrounds food vendor.  However, food lines can be extremely long, especially on Saturday, and it is not uncommon to wait for at least one hour for food or drink.  We highly recommend packing a water bottle and a lunch or snack of some sort.  The food vendor is not a part of The Farm Chicks Show, rather, a vendor selected and contracted through the fairgrounds.

Pets: No pets are allowed at the Fairgrounds.  I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

Airport:  Spokane International Airport.
