We love Antiques Roadshow. It’s one of our favorites on PBS. I’ve always wondered how you can get on that show. Well, now that I’m privy to tons of press releases, I’ll pass this info on to you.

Maybe you’re storing a million-dollar masterpiece up in your attic. Find out. (Then sell it and do something interesting!)

From Philadelphia to Hawaii, ANTIQUES ROADSHOW will travel more than five thousand miles across America searching for hidden treasure this summer. PBS’s most-watched primetime series has announced its summer 2006 Tour destinations…Tour features a series of local events at which top appraisers offer the public free evaluations of antiques and collectibles — revealing the often surprising history and value of these items. The most interesting finds from each city will air in 2007.

All ticket holders are guaranteed an appraisal.

Now’s the time to get rid of all that junk you’ve been hoarding. Find out if it’s valuable. If not, drop it off at one of those Ebay stores or give it away to someone who needs it. Or throw it away!
