Central Oregon Coast's Antique Week Features Huge Event Roster
Published 01/18/2015
(Lincoln City, Oregon) – One central Oregon coast town celebrates 50 years in a bang-up style: the whole town goes antiquing. From February 7 through 16, Lincoln City hosts its Antique Week with the theme Cheers to 50 Years!
More details about the yearly festival of fun and finery have been released. This time around includes a scavenger hunt, an “Appraise-a-thon” by former Antiques Roadshow star Frank Farmer Loomis IV, an engaging lecture by Loomis on “Antiquing 101,” historic city bus tours led by Elizabeth Black, a Valentine’s Day concert by the Lincoln Pops with an optional beginner’s dance lesson, glass floats on the beach, special attractions at the North Lincoln County Historical Museum and Driftwood Public Library, a Members’ Antique Sale at the Lincoln City Cultural Center, Saturday movies from the year 1965 (year Lincoln City officially became a city) at the Bijou Theatre and sales in almost every antique shop in town.
The event will kick off with the “Appraise-a-thon” from 1 p.m. – 3 p.m. Saturday, February 7 at Chinook Winds Casino Resort. Frank Farmer Loomis IV, a former appraiser for “Antiques Roadshow” and writer and co-producer of the PBS television series “Is It Antique Yet?” will appraise antiques and collectibles for a fee of $10 per item or 3 for $20 (in celebration of Chinook Winds’ 20th anniversary). To reserve a spot, call 541-996-5815. Directly following the “Appraise-a-thon,”
Loomis will give a free lecture at 3 p.m. on the topic “Antiques 101: A Crash Course in Antiquing.” Both events are sponsored by Chinook Winds Casino Resort and the Lincoln City Cultural Center. Loomis’ speaking style has been described as lively, laced with anecdotes, often humorous and never boring.
The scavenger hunt will take place over the 10 days with participants visiting local antique shops to find questions and corresponding answers to Lincoln City history trivia. Maps and entry forms will be available at antique dealers and at the Lincoln City Cultural Center. Correctly answered entries will receive a chance to spin the “prize wheel.”
Every spin wins, say Lincoln City officials.
Participating dealers include: Little Antique Mall, Carousel by the Beach, Rocking Horse Mall, Granny’s Attic, The Kelp Bed, Lincoln City Antiques & Music, Lincoln City Cultural Center, Days Catch, Nelscott House Antiques, Robert’s Bookshop, JS Coins, Taft 2nd Hand, All Seasons – Coast Clocks, 101 Coastal Creations, AA Home Furnishings and Antiques, Tam’s Plaza, Pop Culture Collectibles, Pacific Coast Books, and North by Northwest Books & Antiques.
The City of Lincoln City will hide 300 antique Japanese glass floats on the beach throughout the week, as well 50 solid red floats and 14 red heart-shaped glass pieces Valentine’s Day weekend. Finders are encouraged to register their floats with the Information Center in the Lincoln City Cultural Center, 541-994-3302.
Elizabeth Black will lead “mostly accurate” and always entertaining historic city bus tours on Tuesday, February 10 and Thursday, February 12 at 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. The 10 a.m. tours will cover south Lincoln City; 2 p.m. tours will cover the north end. Explore local history as you travel through the communities that, in 1965, incorporated to become Lincoln City. The tours are free, but reservations are required. Call 541-994-3302 to reserve your spot. The bus is being generously provided by Chinook Winds Casino Resort.
The Lincoln Pops will provide danceable music at 7 p.m. on Valentine’s Day, Friday, Feb. 14 at the Lincoln City Cultural Center. Tickets are $14 each, $25 per couple.

In addition to finding great deals on craft supplies, the book A Century on the Beach (a compilation of history from the years 1927-2000 created by Margaret Kerr for The News Guard) will be for sale.
Special exhibits on Lincoln City’s history, including a quilt display, will be held at the North Lincoln County Historical Museum, 4907 SW Hwy. 101. Admission to the museum is free thanks to a grant from the City of Lincoln City.
Driftwood Public Library, 801 SW Hwy. 101, will feature a display of books related to this year’s theme.
