Debbie Luther, market facilitator for the Vintage Revival Market, recently recalled the origins of the gathering. "A group of ladies used to meet in a Walmart parking lot to share vintage items found at yard sales and auctions," said Luther, adding that she thinks those meetups began around 2012. Eventually the group began holding markets at an Akron church, and the event was held at that location for some time.

Eventually, the group members became too busy to continue to run the market. Luther, who had been a vendor at the market with her own Dazzling Daisy Designs jewelry, became the facilitator, moving the market gatherings to a space in the Shops at Rockvale that once housed West Elm Outlet. The next Vintage Revival Market will be held at Suite 1079, 35 S. Willowdale Drive, Lancaster, on Saturday, March 27, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The event is free to the public, and it will feature more than 50 vendors, live music, food trucks, and giveaways.

Among the many vendors will be those selling vintage furniture, antiques, vintage glassware, Pyrex items, lighting, knick-knacks, vintage planters with plants, wall-hangings, artwork, vintage clothing, and more.

"We have live music all day," said Luther, who has lined up two musicians to perform at the Spring Fever event, which she plans to hold inside and outside the Rockvale venue. A coffee cart and a cupcake vendor will be located inside, and food trucks will also be on site. One food vendor will have beers, wines, and ciders. Food trucks will include those selling tacos, soft pretzels, breakfast sandwiches, chicken wings, and french fries.

Luther noted that antiques and vintage items are differentiated by age. "Antiques are older than vintage," said Luther. Rather than being 100 years old, vintage items are 30 or more years old. "I am not an expert on vintage, but it's (mostly) from the '50s, '60s, '70s," said Luther.

There is no admission fee to attend the market. Vendors pay a rental fee that Luther uses for live music for the event, advertising, and giveaways for attendees. Any funds that are left from the Spring Fever event will be donated to North Star Initiative, a local organization that fights human trafficking. North Star has created a sanctuary for female survivors of human trafficking called The Harbor.

The Vintage Revival Market is located near the Disney Store behind the Cracker Barrel restaurant. The sign over the door reads "Rockvale Makers Market." More information may be found by searching for "Vintage Revival Market 'Spring Fever'" on Facebook.
