Now also at the Extravaganzas:
a Show inside the show,
the Vintage Marketplace.
The new centerpiece of the show is the Vintage Marketplace, under the big white tents in the center of the fairgrounds. The Vintage Marketplace gals have set up their show-within-a-show at the last few Extravaganzas, and that has brought a whole to crop of dealers, hundreds more shoppers, and amped the vintage vibe way up. Their advertising and promoting has really helped to grow the Springfield Extravaganza.
