Thank you Spokane!
It was a sunny scene as fans gathered outside the Spokane Convention Center August 4th for the fifth stop on Roadshow's 2007 summer tour.
This framed 1905 aerial map of Spokane was valued by books and manuscripts expert Don Cresswell at around $5,500.
Two mad hatters.
A pinball fanatic.
On set Saturday host Mark Walberg recorded the "stand-up" segments to be used later in creating three shows from the Spokane event.
This guest referred to these two Chinese ceramics as "my little dogs."
Fans laden with heirlooms and yard sale treasures wait at the edge of the set for their turn with an expert.
This gentleman brought in an old aluminum sign advertising "Fresh Holsum Bread."
This couple stopped in at our "Your Stories" set to tell us about their painting and pair of lamps.
On set, paintings expert Alasdair Nichol (right) gave his appraisal of a Dunson Gleason painting of two boys enjoying the surf, which he estimated is worth $20,000 to $30,000.
Three thinking ladies.
This guest proudly shows off his antique toy fire engine.
Mark Walberg demonstrates that he knows how to tell a joke and sign an autograph at the same time.
This serious-minded gentleman lent an air of dignity to the Roadshow's otherwise exuberant atmosphere.
Stage manager Ron Milton goes over a few points with the guest prior to the taping of his Star Wars wood block, which was appraised for $300 to $400.
This guest was a good enough sport to pose on the seat of his antique toy car, whose pedals and steering wheel were still in working order.
Where to now? This stuffed Steiff duo seemed to be considering their next move after visiting our "Your Stories" set.
We see a lot of red wagons at the Roadshow, but this giant interactive sculpture of a Radio Flyer at Spokane's Riverside Park, by artist Ken Spiering, takes the prize.
