Fresno City College held their Spring Vendor Fair in the main campus from March 10-12. The event that\u2019s been on campus for more than 20 years drew up a large number of students.<\/p>\n

Vendors lined up near the library, Student Services building and Design Science to sell everything from jewelry, clothes, incense and more.<\/p>\n

Students and vendors were grateful to have this event at FCC.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think it\u2019s important to have events like this on campus because it builds outside community with students,\u201d ASG representative Love Quezada said. \u201cIt\u2019s nice to just bring them on campus for students to interact, especially for students that just come to school and then go home, it\u2019s just a fun part of the day.\u201d<\/p>\n

Many students were going from tent to tent, looking for different treasures either for themselves or for others.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think it\u2019s a good way to get students out of their isolated habits and get them around here,\u201d Jo, a mechanical engineering major said. \u201cUsually I just look for things that remind me of my friends. I rarely ever get things for myself. Whenever something catches my eye and reminds me of someone, I\u2019ll get it for them.\u201d<\/p>\n

Many of the vendors are returning sellers.<\/p>\n

Renee Romero, co-owner of The Do-Over Vintage said she and her family have been selling at the FCC vendor fair for two years now. Romero said they travel outside of Fresno for similar events and have a shop inside the Manchester Mall.<\/p>\n

\u201cMe and my husband, we\u2019ve been together for over 30 years and we\u2019re pretty much hoarders, so we have a lot of vintage stuff at our house,\u201d Romero said. \u201cA lot of this stuff is curated, it\u2019s things that we\u2019ve picked up over a long time.\u201d<\/p>\n

She also mentioned that as a business person, this market is very important to her because it\u2019s a way for people to learn about The Do-Over.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe kids here are cool and everyone\u2019s really polite so I really like this market,\u201d Romero said.<\/p>\n

John Harris, owner of Pure Love Scents, an aromatherapy and incense company, said that he\u2019s been doing the FCC vendor fair for 15 years, and has no plans to stop.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is something that I love to do, it\u2019s not work,\u201d Harris said. \u201cI get a warm reception here, it\u2019s like family.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sha Ade, runs Porchez Bijou with his family. They sell gemstones and different types of jewelry, including waistbeads, necklaces, etc. and have been doing the vendor fair for four years now.<\/p>\n

\u201cThings are going good here this year. We\u2019ve got a lot of regulars that come see us as well as new faces too. It\u2019s been beautiful this year,\u201d Ade said.<\/p>\n

Ade said they sell at other markets and college campuses around the valley, but mentioned that FCC is where he started.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe do colleges like UCLA, all the way to UC Merced,\u201d Ade said. \u201cBut this was our first college campus so this is home, this is the starting point,\u201d<\/p>\n

The FCC vendor fair is a great way to get students out of the classroom and to explore local businesses.<\/p>\n

The next FCC vendor fair will be a five-day event, held from April 21-25, so if you want to get out of your normal routine, check out the vendors and potentially find some hidden treasures.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Vendor tent at the west side of campus on March 11.
