		ast year, promoter Sam Halpern introduced his newest venture, Antiques at the Brick Works, nestled in the Don Valley, on the west side of Bayview Avenue in Toronto, Ontario.
		On the other hand, Halpern's Brick Works show does present many quality antiques by just 32 fairly well-known dealers—a small show indeed when compared to the over 300 dealers at the outdoor Christie Classic—but what can you do, given a small venue and needed parking space?
		Outdoor shows such as Christie Classic, Kelso, Aberfoyle, and Odessa advertise "rain or shine." Evidently, the downpour failed to discourage the keener collectors from attending and buying at this show, and Sam Halpern was not discouraged either.
