Treasure Hunting

The sweltering heat on Sunday didn’t stop shoppers from swarming to Pierce College for the Topanga Vintage Market, an open-air bazaar boasting more than 170 vendors. Tents and tables overflowed with an eclectic mix of vintage apparel, antiques and collectibles as shoppers rummaged through boxes looking for one-of-a-kind finds.

The shoppers scanning the aisles were just as varied and unique as the items for which they searched. Sellers and buyers dressed for the occasion, flaunting large hats, costume jewelry and high fashion ensembles. As the heat beat down, the snow cone truck became a popular destination for children and adults looking to cool off. The market, which is hosted in Victory Parking Lot 7, helps to raise money for the school. The next fair will take place on Oct. 25 from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m.
