Treasure hunting took on a new meaning in Denver this weekend.
Thrift Con, a convention dedicated to vintage and second-hand clothing, was held Saturday and Sunday at the National Western Center’s Livestock Center. The convention brought in thousands of people and filled the Livestock Center with racks upon racks of vintage clothing.
Attendees picked through the wide variety of clothes on display at dozens of booths, while also taking time to enjoy live music performances. Prices ranged from as low as $5 per item to items upwards of $200 to $300, presenting a wide range of choices for prospective thrifters.
There were racks filled with sports jerseys, booths separated by certain styles; outerwear, jackets, pants and more. There were $10 T-shirt racks, $20 T-shirt racks, even $50 racks for the best curated vintage tees. Some booths even sold vintage media, with tables adorned with VHS tapes and DVDs, records and CDs.
The convention floor even provided entertainment for guests, complete with a retro arcade and small skating space for those seeking thrills in addition to good thrifts…
