I say it all the time:  amazing things are happening here in the Youngstown community.  Slowly but surely, new businesses are opening up in downtown Youngstown and bringing with them a new excitement for our city.  Each year it seems that more supporters are jumping on the bandwagon to cheer on Youngstown, and that is amazing!  2016 is the first year for the Youngstown Flea, an event that is impacting the creative community in huge ways!  To quote from their website:

“The Youngstown Flea is an, exciting, well curated “Market For Makers” hosted once per month in the heart of Downtown Youngstown, Oh. We reside at 110 Freeman Alley (downtown, next to the Covelli Center). The market is dedicated to local & regional vendors of the arts/artists, antique and repurposed furniture, vintage clothing, and collectibles, jewelry, candles, reclaimed metals/wood, apparel, food/drink, farmers & produce etc. We hand select the best vendors in town to ensure each of them have a true passion for making a vibrant community of professionals/peers and investing in the economic growth of the Youngstown community.”

I am so excited to be a part of the flea each month, documenting the vendors, artisans, food trucks, yoga, and supporters that come out in rain or shine to be a part of the fun.  Here is just a snippet of all the amazing things that happened this past weekend at the flea!  If you came out to be a part of it – THANK YOU!  If you missed it, mark your calendar for August 20th and come experience the Youngstown Flea for yourself!
