Farmer Rodney Chow hosts Memorial Day Weekend estate sale at his Carpinteria ranch

CARPINTERIA, Calif.-A familiar face at local farmers markets is holding an estate sale through Memorial Day.

Rodney Chow, who turns 95 on Memorial Day, just moved to Wood Glen Hall in Santa Barbara.

The retired farmer, engineer and realtor and Army veteran has been sorting through his prized possessions.

His Carpinteria property called Bright Spring Ranch is already in escrow, so, he is holding an estate sale.

The fifth generation Californian joked that he saved items for his children that they don't want or have room for in their own homes.

He is selling art, artifacts, albums, antiques clothing, cameras and a custom walnut dining room table that seats 8.

"It is really hard to give up I have no choice, I don't have any room to put it in, but if I had room I wouldn't give up a single thing," said Chow.

Glenda Jackson and her team is handling the estate sale runs from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Sunday and Memorial Day, too.

"Rodney is wonderful, it is a huge eclectic collection of native American artifacts, it is antique Chinese clothing, it is up here on 5 acres in Carp, it is kind of a dream sale," said Jackson.

Your News Channel will have on the birthday boy and the sale this holiday weekend.

There are also toys Chow's children used to play with and Chinese clothing and dishes.
