Dealers from three states will converge on the streets of Uptown Somerset for the 50th Annual Somerset Antique and Vintage Fair on August 14th. There are still vendor spaces available to be part of this year’s show.
This popular show, held 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. on the second Saturday of August each year, annually draws an estimated 4,000 visitors to the region and offers something for everyone, from furniture, toys and sports memorabilia to jewelry, glassware, books and more.
In addition to the antiques on display, the event includes an Antique & Classic Car Show from noon to 2 p.m. in the Somerset Trust Co. parking lot on West Main Street.
Admission to the 50th Annual Somerset Antique & Vintage Fair, sponsored by the Somerset County Chamber of Commerce and Somerset Trust Co., is free and free parking is available on the lower levels of the Somerset County parking garage on East Catherine Street. The event will be held rain or shine and those attending are asked to please leave their pets at home.
The Chamber is also asking for your help to volunteer during the show by working at the information booth and after the show with clean up and tear down. If you can volunteer, please contact the Chamber 814-445-6431.

The Somerset County Chamber of Commerce proudly presents its Leadership Somerset County program. The leaders of tomorrow need opportunities to both enhance and encourage their participation in making Somerset County a better place to live. Leadership Somerset County is designed to bring together a diverse group of individuals who share a common goal of becoming leaders prepared to face future challenges, thereby ensuring that Somerset County is led by able, resourceful, and vigorous individuals, both now and in the future.
Leadership Somerset County is a civically minded program designed to promote awareness and generate interest in serving the community as leaders.
The 10-month course runs from September to June with monthly half-day sessions.
Local Loot is accepted all around the county and can be used for dining or to buy local farm products, wine & beer, golf, bicycles, jewelry, appliances, hotels, outdoor sports, groceries, portraits, haircuts, tractors, clothing, plants, shoes, campsites, theatre performances, pet food, automobile tires, plumbing/HVAC services, home remodeling, auto repair, building supplies, home heating fuel and the list grows bigger by the day.
Local Loot is available in denominations of $5, $10 and $25 and can even be personalized with prior notice. This provides a personal message to staff, customers, family, friends or anyone else on your shopping list. Again, prior notice is required.
To purchase Local Loot, stop by the Somerset County Chamber office at 601 North Center Avenue, Somerset or call us at: 445-6431. What makes Local Loot even better is that the businesses treat it just like cash, so there are no hassles in redeeming it. Plus, unlike a gift card, Local Loot can be used anywhere it’s accepted, which is in a whole lot of places.
The special part of the Local Loot Program is that it keeps the money local, which helps the local economy grow and that provides jobs for local people. Any business can become a Local Loot participant by simply becoming a chamber member and that automatically allows the benefits of membership and that includes Local Loot.
