Founded in 1993 by Phyllis Bear of Country Heart
Promotions, The Medford Armory Show offers
collectors an outstanding selection of quality antiques
and collectibles by dealers from five states, including
turn-of-the-century oak and walnut furnishings,
kitchen and country primitives, Victorian colored and
art glass, American art pottery, sterling silver and
silverplate flatware and hollowware, estate and
costume jewelery, watches, fine porcelains and china,
toys and dolls, American folk art, paper collectibles
(including prints, maps, magazines and books), quilts,

Hospital, Spokane, WA; demonstrations of furniture
restoration, jewelry and silver cleaning by Bob
Denham of E-Z Way Restoration, Burlington, WA;

all show hours by We Cook For You, a nonprofit,
community service organization providing shelter,
meals, and community resources in the Chico,
California area. The largest event center in Medford,
the Armory is the perfect setting for this popular show.
The Medford Armory Show benefits an important
local charity, Dogs For the Deaf. Dogs For The Deaf
rescues dogs from shelters along with helping people
with deafness and other physical and mental
challenges. Volunteers from the organization will be
present at the Show, giving demonstrations and
providing information on their unique and important
service to dogs and the disabled community.
Twin Bridges Antique Productions, promoters of
quality events since 1982, was asked by Mrs. Bear to
take over promotion of the Medord Armory Show in
2008. “We are honored to continue promotion of this
quality event and to benefit Dogs For The Deaf, a most
deserving service organization”, says Carole Berry,
Promoter.
