The History Channel's "American Pickers" are coming to Kentucky in March and they're looking for leads – interesting characters with interesting items and lots of them.
"Our favorite picks feature multiple buildings crammed with piles of cool stuff," said Sarah Moore with Cineflix Inc., the company that produces the show.
The high profile show follows two of the most skilled pickers in the business, Mike Wolfe and Frank Fritz, as they embark on an epic road trip across the United States. The show offers a fascinating insight into what it’s like to be the men on the ground on the frontlines of the antique industry. The show follows the pickers in their van as they go on a mission in search of America’s most fascinating and valuable antiques – treasures that have been long forgotten in junkyards and barns across the country. The team tracks down unique and interesting items from motorcycles, classic cars and bicycles to oneof-a-kind vintage memorabilia.
"We're looking for movie and music memorabilia, sports memorabilia, western items, and basically any other oddball, one-of-a-kind, or interesting historical item you can think of," Moore said. "We don't go to shops, antiques malls, or flea markets, and we're not currently looking for any fine furniture, agricultural or farming items/equipment, depression glass or pottery."
