I can order the antenna from Amazon, but prefer local pickup.

You don't have to use anything fancy. A lot of the OTA HDTV antennas are just rebranded from the old VHF/UHF antennas. You can use a plain old set of rabbit ears to pick up a signal. They're all broadcasting on the same UHF frequencies they used to use in the past.
A few years back for my uncle's retirement party at a restaurant in Richmond, he's a big Canucks fan, and he wanted to watch the playoff game at the same time. All I did was run a 15 foot length of coax down the side of the room to act as an antenna to pick up the CBC OTA signal.
