A preview party will take place tonight at 6 for a show featuring 20th-century antiques.

Then, too, there is the preview party, priced from $100 to $500 a head with 350 to 400 expected to attend.

On Thursday night, before the show opens to the public, we have a preview party and that's our big fund-raiser.
