The popular PBS series "Antiques Roadshow" is including Richmond in its eight-city 2013 summer tour, according to the show's online video announcement.

The show will be at the Greater Richmond Convention Center on August 17.  Tickets are free, but will be awarded through a random drawing from all eligible entries on April 8, according to executive producer Marsha Bemko.
