Keep Westword Free
We’re aiming to raise $20,000 by April 26. Your support ensures Westword can continue watching out for you and our community. No paywall. Always accessible. Daily online and weekly in print.
Between the junk, the treasures disguised as junk and the priceless people-watching, there’s nothing like a good flea market. When Motyka Johnson, a coordinator at the Aurora History Museum, decided to organize First Saturdays Summer Flea Markets, she was hoping to do something unlike the run-of-the-mill festivals and farmers’ markets. “I wanted this to be something unique that would help build a community spirit,” she says. “So the idea harks back to the old-fashioned community market, where you didn’t necessarily have to own a business or be an LLC or incorporated person to be able to go out and take part in a community event on either side of the counter.”
Today from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Delaney Farm, 170 South Chambers Road, more than twenty vendors will provide entertainment and sell food, art, crafts, antiques — even balloons. Admission is free; for information, or to reserve a space for the August 4 market, call Johnson at 303-739-6662 or visit www.auroragov.org. Registration fees support museum programs.
First Saturday of every month, 9 a.m.-2 p.m. Starts: June 2. Continues through Aug. 4
