Featuring Dr. Lori
Dr. Lori, PhD, is an art and antiques appraiser, syndicated columnist, award-winning TV personality and host. She recently landed the new gig as star antiques appraiser on the hit reality TV show Auction Kings on the Discovery Channel. At the Fall Home and Garden Show at The Woodlands, she uncovered a $15,000 painting, a $10,000 Spanish illuminated manuscript, and many other valuable pieces. She is returning to bring her Antique Appraisals Comedy Tour to Sugar Land residents, who are encouraged to bring their art and antiques to the show for Dr. Lori to appraise. Find out if it’s junk - or NOT!

As seen on Comedy Central's "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart", NBC’s “The Tonight Show”, and entertaining guests onboard Celebrity Cruises’ cruise ships around the world, Dr. Lori is a nationally known and funny antiques appraiser, award-winning TV personality and talk show host. She will pull no punches evaluating your friends' or spouse's flea market addictions and sentimental family objects as she makes you all laugh about your junk.

Free antiques appraisals will be available as a part of Dr. Lori’s show. Attendees are encouraged to arrive early since appraisals are limited.  (See Dr. Lori's Schedule here)
