Clarkston Vintage & Antique Sourcing Crawl

Join the Lake Erie Resellers for a day of treasure hunting, networking, and sourcing as we explore some of the best vintage, antique, and curated consignment shops in the Clarkston area.

Whether you're looking to stock inventory for the upcoming holiday season, learn more about antique booth management, or simply enjoy a day of sourcing with fellow resellers, this crawl is designed to help you discover new opportunities while building connections within our reseller community.

Special Highlight: Antique Booth Behind-the-Scenes Tour

Earlier this year, our group hosted a presentation on managing antique booths and pop-up events. During this crawl, you'll have the opportunity to see those concepts in action.

At Rusty Relics Vintage & Antiques, one of our own Lake Erie Resellers members, Chris Naidus with Great Lakes Secondhand maintains a permanent booth space. Participants will have the chance to tour the booth, discuss merchandising strategies, booth maintenance, pricing, tagging, and inventory management, and ask questions about operating a successful antique mall space.
