Shop this way: #CLEFleaMediaPicks
There's no single, best way to shop the Flea. Some people are planners — they download the vendor map ASAP, study it and walk in with a planned route. Others thrive on the twists and turns of an active, urban treasure hunt. You might show up looking for one specific thing; you might leave with everything you didn't know you needed in your life.
Whatever your approach, we have another tool to add to your belt: #CLEFleaMediaPicks.
AND THE MEDIA PICK GOES TO...
August Flea officially kicked off our new favorite way to shop: #CLEFleaMediaPicks! We've handpicked Cleveland bloggers + tweeters, asked them to shop the Flea and share their favorite finds with the hashtag #CLEFleaMediaPicks.
It's a living, growing shopping guide, built throughout the day as our media friends make their ways through the Flea. You can use their hot-pink ribbons as a must-have list or as a treasure trail — follow the markers and who knows what you'll find! Here are the peeps and the picks from August Flea:
