LACONIA — The Ohio Valley Refinery & Roadshow is making a stop at the Landmark Inn in Laconia this week in search of rare and unique collectibles.
Hours are 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Tuesday through Friday and 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday.
Matthew Enright, the roadshow's vice president of media relations, said "The Ohio Valley Refinery & Roadshow makes offers based on what collectors are willing to pay. After one decides to sell an item, he or she is paid on the spot. Then, the Roadshow sends out the item to the collector."
Enright said collectors are very serious about their hobby and will pay a lot of money for the items they are looking for. "Nearly all coins and paper currency, vintage jewelry, war memorabilia, musical instruments and toys made prior to 1965 are highly sought after by collectors."
Over 1,000 people are expected to attend the event, for which $300,000 has been set aside for purchases.
