DON'T MISS THE NEW FLEA MARKET TOMORROW MORNING!

Cold weather is on the way, and no one really wants to slosh around the city trying to fill their plate with the meager offerings of the few yard sales that pop up on Saturdays. And, the usual one or two indoor special events just aren't enough to feed on.  The one thing that has been missing from the Salt Lake collecting scene is a good indoor flea market.  Well, that ends tomorrow.  Smart collectors will be taking their meal at the new SALT LAKE CITY * FLEA MARKET AND SWAP MEET.
 
The New flea market at the Utah Fairpark is brought to us by partners Kate Wheaton & Michael Sanders, who have been feeding us all summer at the outdoor Salt Lake Urban Flea market.  The  market will feature many of the same great vendors, along with a few new tricks. The first few markets will be Oct.29, Nov.19, Dec.17, Jan.28, Feb.25, & Mar.25. The market tomorrow will include the popular Salt Lake ROCK & ROLL SWAP MEET, featuring vintage vinyl and rock memorabilia. How's that for dessert!  See you there.

COWBOY MARKET & FLEA! This one will have to be come as you are

Okay, I admit it.  I'm a greenhorn. At best a tenderfoot, at worst, a one time space cowboy.  But the truth is that nothing makes me more excited about the notion of spending a day dressed to the nines, in full cowboy regalia, than a trip down to Pleasant Grove to the annual COWBOY MARKET AND FLEA.  Unfortunately, as I assess my entire cowhand wardrobe, it seems to come down to a pair of roughout cowboy boots that Lyn bought me back in about 1972.  It didn't occur to me at the time, but I was probably supposed to get her a schoolmarm getup. 
 
Anyway, cowboy hat or not, I'm headin' down to the COWBOY MARKET on Saturday.  You ought to go down too.  For my money, it's the most charming of the many local vintage markets, and if you get there a little early,  for a few bucks you can grab some grub at the chuck wagon.  Stop by and say hello.  I guess I'll be the guy in the button down shirt and khakis
