October’s “Old Times” finds charm in the nursery, treasures in the hunt, and history behind the wheel. First, “Baby planters” revisits the whimsical ceramic gifts that welcomed baby-boom newcomers, from lambs and storks to tiny trains, rocking pigs, and plenty of tongue-in-cheek designs. Then, “Hall of fame picker” tells the story of Mason City’s Mark Dawson, an old-school antiques hunter who was picking long before television made the hunt famous. Finally, one collector’s 1931 Ford Model A brings family stories to life, preserving a piece of motoring history through car shows, parades, and everyday drives. Welcome something sweet, hunt down a treasure, and take a ride into the past in October’s “Old Times!”
