The TV show American Pickers is coming to Oregon in September. If the crew gets enough leads on interesting old things, they could stop in your town.
Travis Palmer is Executive Director of the Cottage Grove Chamber of Commerce. He describes the History Channel show.
Palmer: "Mike and Frank, the two stars of the show, they go around and they look through old barns and houses and whatever buildings they can find and they look for basically find these hidden treasures."
Things like vintage bicycles, toys, unusual radios, old advertisements, and vintage automotive items. Palmer thinks Cottage Grove is a promising prospect.
Palmer: "Oh I think there's tons. It's just a matter of identifying them and having the people who own these things allow the filming crew to come out and do what they do. I think there's no shortage of junk collectors out there that have great things."
American Pickers wants people who are collectors or who know of one to contact the show.
