Antiques Roadshow to visit Cincinnati this summer

PBS' wildly popular series Antiques Roadshow has announced its tour dates for 2012, and the good news is that Cincinnati has been selected as an appraisal taping site to take place on July 21.

Tickets are free but not easy to obtain! Visit the PBS website to apply. Selection is done by a random drawing. Only one set of two tickets may be awarded per household, and duplicate applications are not permitted. Peruse the FAQ page of the website, which is quite exhaustive, should you have any questions. Remember that furniture items have their own specific set of rules.

The last time the Roadshow came to town was in 1997, and the event was held at the Cincinnati Convention Center. The specific venue for this year's Cincinnati tour stop has not yet been announced.

Put your application in today, and good luck!
