Alameda Point Antiques Faire

The monthly Alameda Point Antiques Faire coincides exness login with the CRRA Conference’s first day. The Faire features over 800 vendors, all selling antique and vintage items – jewelry, vintage clothing, furniture, artwork, kitchen and table ware, architectural salvage. We will leave the hotel by taxi, taking a short trip to the old Alameda Naval Air Station and arriving by 9 a.m. when the entry fee drops to $5. We will return at 2 p.m. to join the Policy Roundtable and other Conference activities.

Tips: Wear comfortable walking shoes, the Faire is literally miles of aisles. A hat, sunscreen, and water bottle are recommended. The weather on the Bay is changeable, so a layer may come in handy. You can eat at the Faire, from an assortment of food booths but the lines can be long so pack fruit or another snack.  Bring something to carry your reuse finds -- bags, a backpack. Remember we are travelling by taxi, so the armour purchase needs to wait. Cash is a good idea; not all vendors accept credit cards or out of area checks.
