American Pickers, a documentary series on the History Channel, is planning to come to Pennsylvania! The show features Mike Wolfe and Frank Fritz who are two of the most skilled pickers in the business. Don’t know what a picker is? Not familiar with the show? Well, the show follows Mike and Frank as they travel across the country “picking” through antique collections. The art of picking, is being able to look at collections of antiques and knowing what may be worth money if restored, resold, or renovated. This show brings antiques back to life and gives new appreciation for items that may have been forgotten.
In order for the show to film in Pennsylvania, they need to find private collections that can be featured. This would be a wonderful opportunity for the Grove City community and surrounding areas! If you know of private collections that may be of interest to them, you are asked to review the supporting materials. These materials give an overview of the show and list what items they are looking to buy and specify what they are not interested in.

So, dust off your thinking caps and help us find some private collections that might bring the American Pickers show to our neck of the woods! If you have private collections that they are looking for, you can contact them at jfriedman@cineflix.com or call and leave a message at 1-855-OLD-RUST.
Be sure and tell them you heard about this opportunity from the Grove City Area Chamber of Commerce!
