The Dogwood Days Committee is in the process of finalizing the details for a visit from Danielle Colby of History’s American Pickers! She will be autographing photos and “picking” at the Horseshoe Bend Area Chamber of Commerce’s Dogwood Days Festival on Saturday, May 11, 2013! Look for more details in future articles.

Danielle Colby – While the guys are out picking, Danielle holds down the fort at Antique Archaeology, Mike’s store and base of operations. She spends her time talking to buyers, packing up shipments and keeping Mike and Frank in line, while they keep her in stitches with their antics and jokes. The guys like to say she’s the glue that holds them all together. A mother of two, Danielle is always working on a new creative project, whether it’s painting, designing clothes or selling vintage-inspired gifts online.
