Good turnout for Oceanside antiques street fair - North County Times - Coastal -

It seems every time I turn around I've missed another great event in Oceanside put on by the Chamber of Commerce or by Main Street Oceanside. This time it was the 8th annual Antiques on Mission.
Good turnout for Oceanside antiques street fair - North County Times - Coastal -:" "This year's antiques fair, sponsored by MainStreet Oceanside, drew upwards of 25,000 folks strolling up and down Mission Avenue, on a stretch running from Horne Street west to Coast Highway.

It's a mellow affair, and even with 94 vendors ---- the most ever for the event, organizer Cathy Nykiel said ---- each booth boasted items different from the others, and included not just antiques but also arts and crafts.

Even live music fit in with that vintage theme"

There's always next year!
