Antiques collectors mark their calendars for the three annual Genesee Country Antique Dealers Association (GCADA) shows. The latest, the Greater Rochester Fall Antique Show, took place in Minett Hall at the Rochester Dome on October 19, 2024. Nearly 700 collectors were on the prowl to add to their collections or to discover a new area of interest to learn about. The inventory at a GCADA show always includes unique and fine examples of antiques and collectibles. Aside from displaying antiques, the show offered food and coffee trucks to sustain shoppers. Representatives from the Tinker Homestead were in the lobby to share information about their organization and some grant recipients were on hand. GCADA supports numerous museums and historical societies with grants each year.

The 2025 shows are April 5, June 14, and October 18.
