people and finding out what their treasures are . It ’ s fun to meet everybody , and everyone we ’ ve met has been in such a good mood .”
Reflecting on her experience , Cheryl added the following : “ It was great to learn a little bit more about these pieces , because they ’ re sentimental to me . It was amazing to see how much everyone values their treasures and antiques — usually things that they had stored away and not paid much attention to . We learned a lot from coming here .”
Directly adjacent to the feedback booth , an informational tent sponsored by Vermont Public was set up just south of the Pizzagalli Center for Arts and Education . “ Vermont Public was our partner in the production at Shelburne Museum ,” said Marsha Bemko . “ Once we decide where
we ’ re going and we ’ re able to commit to it , we immediately get in touch with the public television station in that market , which for Shelburne Museum was Vermont Public . They helped us with the promotion , and we also worked with their marketers . Stations that we work with supply around 100 volunteers for every event , which they recruit for us . Without the volunteers , we couldn ’ t do the show . Vermont Public was a real partner in getting the event done . They played a huge part in it .”
When asked whether or not there was a possibility that ANTIQUES ROADSHOW would return to Vermont in the future , Bemko was open to the possibility . However , she pointed out that ANTIQUES ROADSHOW ’ s policies would prevent a return in the next several years . “ A big consideration when we ’ re choosing
where to go is that we can ’ t go to the same city for five years . I always joke that when someone has worked at ANTIQUES ROADSHOW for a little bit and we ’ re looking for places to go , they will end up saying things like , ‘ Wow ! The country is really small ,’ because our options are limited . We won ’ t be coming back to Vermont in the next five years , but we definitely do want to come back in the future .”
