The "Valley of the Sun" has become a popular nickname for Phoenix and its adjacent suburbs – where sunshine dominates the weather more than 300 days a year. The allure of sunny dry heat and an even hotter economy has attracted enough residents to make this the sixth largest city in the nation, as well as a prime vacation destination.

The Antiques Road Show is extremely popular wherever it is held. Crowds well into the tens of thousands have been known to appear for this popular attraction; and for good reason.
Clean out the attic and you never now what treasures can be found. The Antiques Roadshow seeks out the larger convention centers across the United States.
We should soon have a list of stops for the next season of the Antiques Roadshow tour – so please bookmark us or add us to your "Favorites."
Last season began with 3 Shows from the Albuquerque Convention Center. During one of those shows, someone brought in a Tang Dynasty marble lion statue, with an insurance value topping $250,000.00. Wow!
"Every city has a story, and — as ANTIQUES ROADSHOW has discovered — the best storytellers often turn out to be objects brought in for appraisal. Each stop on ROADSHOW’s 2003 tour features unexpected finds that reveal local history — not to mention a veritable smorgasbord of items that speak volumes about hometowns all over the world."
