Clean out your closets! Antiques Roadshow will be here in just under two weeks!

To help welcome Roadshow to town, please plan on joining WTCI at 9:30 a.m. on Thursday, July 17, for a special event at the Incline in St. Elmo. In addition to welcoming some special guests from the series, an appraiser will be on hand to appraise one of Chattanooga's most treasured antiques – the Incline Railway. Mayor Littlefield and Mayor Ramsey will be on hand to proclaim next week WTCI ANTIQUES ROADSHOW WEEK in Chattanooga and Hamilton County. We hope to have a HUGE turnout to welcome the Roadshow crew to Chattanooga.

WTCI still has a limited number of tickets available to attend this once in a lifetime event. For a pledge of 400 dollars, you are guaranteed admission to the event on July 19 at the Chattanooga Convention Center. These tickets allow each ticket holder to bring two items for appraisal. You may be lucky enough to tell your story to a national televised audience. Ask fast. These tickets are almost gone.

We're excited to let you know that Antiques Roadshow will also be taping segments at AT&T Field, the Walnut Street Bridge and Chickamauga Battlefield telling stories of local treasures and history. The segments will air as part of the three episodes from Chattanooga premiering in Spring 2009. This is simply another example of how WTCI is helping share our local stories on a national level.
