Thomasville Antiques Show

This week's program will be about the Thomasville Antiques Show. Kristyn Pittman will talk about what to expect at this year's show: upcoming speakers, exhibitors, and opportunities to get involved!

The 2026 Thomasville Antiques Show – Feb. 26 through March 1 – will bring together a curated collection of premier antiques, fine art, and contemporary design from renowned exhibitors across the United States — with all proceeds supporting local nonprofit organizations dedicated to enhancing the lives of children in our area.

Saturday, Jan. 31
Volunteer: Multicultural Celebration

The Thomasville City Spanish Club, along with language clubs from Brookwood School and Thomas County Central High School, will host their second annual Thomasville Multicultural Celebration on Saturday, Jan. 31 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the fairgrounds.

As a vital part of Thomasville’s multicultural community, the Rotary Club of Thomasville has been invited to host an informational booth highlighting the history of Rotary and our current service projects, including the Community Market and GRSP. This booth presents an excellent opportunity to promote the Rotary brand, share our mission, and engage with the broader community.

To staff the booth throughout the day, we are seeking 10 Rotarians to volunteer their time. Shifts can be arranged to accommodate schedules.

If you are interested in participating or would like more information, please contact Jason Goldman at (310) 625-7795. Your involvement will help showcase the impact Rotary continues to have in our community.
