Festival's Loppis
Since thousands of people of Scandinavian decent settled in the Jamestown area, there are many items representing the culture that can be found in the community. Some of these items are for sale in the Loppis Booth. Loppis in Sweden refers to a flea market usually managed by individual families in their own garage, barn or cellar. Scandinavian antiques, heirlooms, old as well as new items are offered in the Loppis Tent.

Are you looking for some Swedish glass including Orrefors and Kosta Boda, books, antiques, paintings? Will you find something
like grandma used to have?
Who knows what treasures will be sold this year!
As a special feature, on Sunday from 1-3 PM, Mr. Tom Karapantso will be present to assess values of Scandinavian items. Mr. Karapantso manages his own estate and household sale company. People can bring in any items for Mr. Karapantso to evaluate and share his opinion regarding the value of their items. There is only a charge of $1 per item for this service based on the model of the "Antique's Roadshow".
