It�s
time to clean out your attic and see what all of those treasures are
worth! Join Jeff Poole and other members of the Franklin Regional

your antiques to be appraised by Sr. Poole, a Spanish and French

age of 4 and by 12 he was selling antiques at the flea market in
Latrobe. For the past 20 years he has maintained several antique
shops and is a frequent seller on eBay. Sr. Poole has also done
numerous appraisal fairs for the library system of Pittsburgh and
several other organizations. In addition to this he frequently

Spain, the Czech Republic and Chile. With years of experience behind
him he will appraise your items and let you know what your treasure
is really worth! $5

Relay for life. The Appraisal Fair will be held in the FR Middle
School lobby on Saturday May 3rd from 10-2. So come

Homeowners who want to join the celebration can go to town, decorating the exterior of their homes with purple.
Participants should decorate the front of their house and/or their front yard using the theme �The Power of Purple.� Decorations must be visible from the road. The decorating should be completed and the house registered by May 7. Homes can be registered for judging by sending an e-mail to paintuspurple@aol.com or by calling 724-325-7157.

The committee hopes to use pictures of the decorated homes at the Relay and in publicity for the event, so participants who register their homes should understand that doing so constitutes permission for the Committee to use pictures as needed. For more information, call 724-325-7157.
