Dolly Johnson Antique and Art Show

Dolly Johnson Antique and Art Show: The Dolly Johnson Antique and Art Show is the longest-running antique show in the American West.

Founded in 1963 by Dolly Johnson in Fort Worth, Texas,^[1] the show became the proto-type for others shows that focused on American Country Antiques. According to the first volume of Antique News & Views, when Dolly Johnson visited the 1982 debut of the Heart of Country Antique Show in Nashville, Tennessee, she was "a petite, fun-loving 19 year veteran antique show manager from Ft. Worth, Texas." In the 1990s, Johnson's daughter, JJ Frambes, took over leadership of the show, working to sustain and enhance the quality of the 50 select exhibitors. In 2009, Frambes sold the show to long-time staff writer Jan Orr-Harter, owner of Hot Tamale Antiques in Aledo, Texas. For nearly 50 years, four generations of the Johnson family had worked to produce the show each year at the Will Rogers Memorial Center in Fort Worth's Cultural District. Orr-Harter added more art to the show, expanded the diversty of antiques and the number of exhibitors and began to promote the event through an internet reflection on the meaning of a life lived in the midst of all things antique and vintage.
