MANCHESTER, N.H. - It's time for some serious antiquing in New Hampshire.

The 55th annual New Hampshire Antiques Show is getting under way Thursday in Manchester.

The show, which runs through Saturday at the Radisson Hotel, caps a week of antiques auctions and shows collectively known as "Antiques Week in New Hampshire." The event has become a powerful tourism magnet for the state, drawing dealers and collectors from around the country.

Admission is $10-$15 but free for anyone under 30 — an effort by show promoters and dealers to cultivate a new generation of antiques fans.
