Peoria Speedway filled with shoppers as the Central Illinois Flea Market offered antiques, collectibles, boutique clothing, vintage jewelry, books and electronics.
Vendors used the event to showcase niche goods, with second-year seller Shelly White featuring tarot decks, perfume bottles, 3D-printed items, crystals and dreamcatchers.
Fourth-year vendor Regina Davis highlighted dry nail polish as a cheaper, faster alternative to salon visits, while food trucks added to the market's draw.
Organizers said the market is expected to grow, with new vendors already signing up and more shoppers anticipated at the next event.
