Published March 17th, 2008
DANBURY, CT - Spring is the time for a new fashion season but for many people, new can mean used and recycled AND VINTAGE. The proof of this is when the Vintage Clothing, Accessories, Textiles and Jewelry Show and Sale returns for the 2nd year to the Police Athletic League Building, 25 Hayestown Road in Danbury, CT (06811). There will more than thirty booths brimming with yesterday’s styles, now today’s latest fashion. All ages and both men and women will find one of a kind items to make them stand out in a crowd. A prime example of this occurred at the last Oscar ceremony when one of the stars was asked, “whom are you wearing?” The reply was that she was wearing “a one-of-a-kind vintage dress.” The show will be held on April 5th and 6th from 10 AM – 5 PM. The PAL Building is just a short distance from I-84 Eastbound exit 5, Westbound exit 6 (signs will be posted). By train, the Danbury Railroad Station is only 2.6 miles from the show. Take the Metro-North Danbury Line and call ahead for a taxi, 203-792-8294. Admission is $6 (under 13 free).
