The Pass Christian Historical Society is sponsoring a trash or treasure show on Saturday. Do you have a family heirloom or garage sale find you think may be worth something? You can bring up to three items and speak informally with an expert, who will give you a brief opinion of the possible value of your item. Keep in mind these are not official appraisals.
