Ruidoso Downs Race Track welcomes the Heritage Antique Show and Sale on May 27, 28 and 29 in the new Santa Fe Furniture Events Center as a featured attraction for their opening weekend of live racing.

The Heritage Antique Show will be filled with 20,000 square feet of rare and authentic antiques as well as collectables that are being introduced to race track fans in a first-ever show of its kind at the race track, according to Heritage Antique Show Coordinator Gail Kinney of Tulsa, Oklahoma.

The antique show opens at 10AM on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. The show closes approximately an hour after the end of racing each day. Admission is $10 per person but $8 for seniors, military and teens.

“We are proud to be introducing these renowned antique vendors to a new audience,” said Kinney. “We are bringing some of the nation’s top antique dealers to Ruidoso Downs for this show and welcome everyone to take this opportunity to see what’s inside the new events center.”

A few of the top antique vendors expected to participate in the show during Memorial Day weekend at Ruidoso Downs include:
