Gathering - Fetch

One summer in Cape Cod I went to the Wellfleet flea market and came home with a pair of kittens. They had, fittingly, fleas. This was not the first time I went to that market, but it was one of the last. The cats were part of it but mostly it was that the mix of vintage dealers and artisans were being pushed out by the vendors selling off brand batteries and tube socks. It just wasn't worth it to bake in the sun reflected off of the asphalt of the drive in theatre and come home with treasures like...a kokopelli keychain.

Fetch is nothing like that. 

​Fetch is the re-brand of Denver Flea. Located in Rino it pops up a few times a year with DJs, food trucks, and local products of all sorts. If I was the kind of person who would use the words curated, artisan, and maker I would for sure be using them here.

I visited Fetch April 13th on its opening day. It was cold, grey, and spitting. The weather, not the flea market. After paying an entrance fee my group wandered the outside parking lot amongst the trucks talking about how nice it would be in the sun. Instead of looking around at vendors our hands were shielding our faces and we almost missed almost all of the 150+ booths in the garage.

Here are a few images from amongst the excellence inside.

Another difference between Fetch and the Wellfleet flea Market? Fetch features dogs not kittens. This is Denver after all.
