Heritage Village is now accepting donated treasures for the fall

It may be the middle of August but at Heritage Village thoughts are already turning to October, when the 35th annual Country Jubilee brings a celebration of autumn to Pinellas County with artisans, musicians, demonstrations and much more. 

 

A big draw to the event each year is the huge flea market and book sale, conducted by the Pinellas County Historical Society. Proceeds from this fundraising activity go directly to the operations at Heritage Village and its success depends on the generosity of residents to donate their treasures for the sale.

The Historical Society is accepting books, tools, dishes, silverware, sports equipment, craft items, toys, jewelry, antique or small furniture, seasonal decorations and all types of antiques and house wares. Clothing, shoes, computers or televisions will not be accepted.
