Country Antiques in Connecticut’s Quiet Corner is a nationally recognized antique show and schoolwide fundraiser sponsored by the Ellis Tech Parent Faculty Organization (PFO). There are numerous ways that all members of the Ellis Tech community and the public contribute to make the show possible. Booths are designed and constructed by Ellis Tech’s Carpentry and Electrical trades. Ellis Tech’s Collision Repair trade, staff, parents, and Scouts paint the booths.  Staff, parents, and local businesses donate ingredients for the grilled chicken luncheon and desserts served the day of the show, and staff and parents produce and serve the luncheon. Students serve as porters for the dealers. Local community businesses purchase ads for the show program. To find out how you can participate, contact Jan Praytor at the email listed below.

All proceeds benefit the projects of the Ellis Tech Parent Faculty Organization.
