Welcome to the Union Historical
Fire Society Website
Allentown 2020!!
2020 Show Dates: April 18th and 19th.
The 2020 Allentown Spring Melt is fast approaching. This year will be one of our best auctions, as the consigners have given Donn Zalewski of Donn & Associates some outstanding items for the auction. Many of the items being sold at this year's Spring Melt come from one of the top fire collectors in the country, Jim Piatti. Jim is a recognized national authority on Firematic antiques, authoring many books and articles on this subject. The Union Historical Fire Society is honored to be a part of the passing on of great fire memorabilia to other fire collectors!! Please support the UHFS as we strive to keep and even grow the auction and the show!! Go to Donn's website at http://www.donnandassociates.com for more information. There are also pictures of the items on the website that will be auctioned off on Saturday.
The price for a vendor space has been increased to $75 due to the rising operational costs of running the show. However, as a benefit for UHFS members who have paid their 2020 dues, there will be a $10 discount for a vendor space. The cost of renting tables and chairs has remained the same. Registration packets were mailed Saturday, January 11th.
Please note that there is also a time change for the auction. The auction starts promptly at 8:00 AM on Saturday. The preview area will be closed off to attendees after the auction begins. The auction items can be previewed from 12:00 PM to 3:00 PM on Friday and 7:00 AM to 8:00 AM on Saturday. Catalogs will be available for purchase on Friday during the auction preview and on Saturday at 7:00 AM.
The Spring Melt committee is looking for help to include hall setup, vendor check in, manning the UHFS booth, from Friday, April 17th to Sunday, April 19th, 2020. Please contact Tom D'Arcangelo at 631.348.3787 or darcantq@gmail.com to sign up.
