Ten years ago this September, antiques dealer and Prairie Grove resident Amy Daniels had an idea: a fan of large-scale outdoor flea markets like Canton and Round Top in Texas, she was tired of having to drive hundreds of miles to find vintage goodies. Why, she thought, couldn t the Northwest Arkansas area support such an event?
If you love all things rusty, junky, antique or vintage, there s only one place you should be this weekend starting today at 10 a.m. the Junk Ranch, at 11195 Centerpoint Church Road in Prairie Grove.
Nearly nine years ago now, Junk Ranch co-founders Amy Daniels and Julie Speed took a risk and hosted a small flea market on the grounds of the Viney Grove Community Center in Prairie Grove. By mid-morning, the parking lot was overflowing, and the duo knew they had a hit on their hands.
