History of Madison-BouckvilleAntique Week and Madison Bouckville PromotionsBy John Mancino, president, Madison Bouckville Promotions
FORTY-FOUR YEARS AGO THIS AUGUST, JOCK HENGST
and A few of his friends got together on an abandoned airfieldon Route 20 in Bouckville to swap some antiques. From thathumble beginning has grown New York State’s largest outdoorantique event.
After a few yearsthe event was movedto a corn field onRte. 20 and contin-ued to prosper. Asthe event grew, manyfull time antiquestores sprang upalong Rte. 20, andthe towns of Madison and Bouckville became known as antiquecommunities. Many of these stores started hosting their ownshows running concurrent with Mr Hengst’s.
Five years ago Mr Hengst sold his show field to a farmerand there was concern that the show was over. When I heardthe news I knew something must be done to keep this showalive. I went up and down the street and organized all theantique stores, show fields, restaurant owners, and inn keepers.We all got together in one room, and with the help of MadisonCounty Tourism formed Madison Bouckville Promotions. Weare a non-for profit group consisting of over 70 members.Monies raised from dues are used to advertise MadisonBouckville Week. We also increased the length of the show toone full week.
Today, we are proud to say that we are the single largest rev-enue generator in Madison County. We estimate we have over60,000 visitors in one week, and sell out every hotel room inthe county.
Please visit our website at www.madison-bouckville.com formore information about the shows taking place during AntiqueWeek.
