Our wide variety of vendors have a little bit to satisfy the needs of just about any collector on any budget, from low to very high end.
The cost to enter at 9 AM is $5 at the door, kids 12 and under are free. Note that those 15 and under are now required to have a chaperone/guardian with them upon entry. The fun begins around 8:30 AM at the Crowne Plaza Woburn hotel with newly extended hours until 2:00. Door prizes as of this writing are still being determined but are always given away in two blocks at 10 AM and 12 PM. We promise to celebrate our fifth anniversary that these will be fun, unique and really good! Here are the goodies up for grabs this month.
<ul><li>Electric Scooter</li><li>Lenovo Laptop</li><li>Roku Sound Bar</li><li>Google Nest 7</li></ul>
The best parking is in the back of the hotel (parallel to I-95) to enter the ballroom from the rear entrance. Contact us if you have any questions. There is currently zero room for new vendors and our waitlist is full. Tickets can be purchased in advance here through OnTreasure to "skip the line". Cash/credit cards/Venmo also accepted at the door. See you soon!
