Jackalope Indie Artisan Fair 2019: A Year In Review

2019 has been a year of change and growth for Melissa, Sara, and Jackalope!

In May, Jackalope added a new location and took on Burbank as part of the long running Downtown Burbank Arts Festival! The fair was a success and we are very excited to be back in Burbank May 16th & 17th, 2020 for their 17th year.

Then that next week (literally!), Jackalope got a new team member. Sara and her husband Pete, welcomed baby boy Wells! Wells can be found helping mom and dad shop artisan booths during the fair.


And if that is not enough, that same week Melissa moved to Minnesota! Melissa and her husband Brian, purchased their first home in South Minneapolis. As Melissa is preparing herself for the winter chill- she is having a fun time exploring the handmade arts scene in the city and has attended several makers markets!


Next up Jackalope returned to Central Park, Old Pasadena for Jackalope Summer Nights in August and our Fall Fair in November. We will be back in Pasadena for our Spring fair April 25th & 26th, 2020.


For Small Business Saturday weekend, Jackalope hosted a pop up shopping event in the basement of Grand Central Market! We had a blast celebrating small business and the holiday season kick off.

Our final fair of the year was in Denver where this year we called Stanley Marketplace home and we had a blast. We had artisan booths on both the first and second floors truly creating an immersive shopping experience for all!

As we look to a new year, we want to extend a huge thank you to everyone who was a part of our artisan community and to all the shoppers who support them. We hope everyone has a happy new year and we look forward to seeing you in 2020!

What we LOVE about Denver
Lindsey Kay Collective

Lindsey Kay Collective

As we head into our fifth year hosting fairs in Denver, we want to take a moment and let you in on some of our favorite fun facts about the Mile High City!


Sunshine

Corey Anthony Photography

Corey Anthony Photography

Fun Fact: Something we love most about Denver is that it has over 300 days of sunshine per year! Denver has more annual hours of sunshine than San Diego and even Miami Beach.


Colfax Avenue

Photo by Colfax Jack

Photo by Colfax Jack

Fun Fact: Colfax Avenue is the longest commercial street in the USA just over 26 miles, and is home to a unique assortment of eateries, bars, and music venues! Playboy once referred to Colfax as "the longest, wickedest street in America."  One of our favorite landmarks are the neon signs that still exist on Colfax playing tribute to its past!


Beer!

38305130_2130013793707409_1498270650828062720_o.jpg

Fun Fact: The first permanent structure in Denver was a saloon, which makes sense since now there are over 75 breweries with a Denver address! It is no surprise that Denver hosts the largest beer fest in the nation, The Great American Beer Fest. Shoutout to Diebolt Brewing who has hosted our Denver Fair mixer the past 3 years.


Art

Photo from Visit Denver

Photo from Visit Denver

Fun Fact: There are seven art districts in Denver and over 70 galleries in Denver alone. This includes Rino, Golden Triangle, Arts District on Sante Fe, South Broadway, Cherry Creek North, South Pearl Street, Tennyson, and 40 West Arts District. We also love all the street art that is taking over the city making it one large art gallery.


The Brown Palace Hotel & Spa

Photo from GoColoroado.com

Photo from GoColoroado.com

Fun Fact: Except for Calvin Coolidge, every US President since Teddy Roosevelt has visited this famous landmark. Also unique, there is a bee colony on the roof and the honey is used for afternoon tea!


The Denver Mint

Screen Shot 2019-01-09 at 5.55.20 PM.png

Fun Fact: The Denver Mint is the single largest producer of coins in the world. You can tell if a coin is made in Denver by a D mark. I still remember the tour I took back in elementary school, a school staple growing up!


The Outdoors

Photo from Visit Denver

Photo from Visit Denver

Fun Fact: Yes we know Denver is not in the Mountains, however it is so close that the outdoor active lifestyle is still relevant. In fact there are 200 named peaks visible from Denver and the city boasts more than 5,000 acres of traditional parks and parkways.

Jackalope Indie Artisan Fair 2018: A Year In Review

2018 has been a BIG year for Jackalope on many fronts.

As many of you know, there are just two of us at the helm of Jackalope. When life events happen, you gotta take a moment and celebrate the time!

We started off the year celebrating Melissa’s marriage in the Dominican Republic!


Then, just two weeks later, we hit the ground running with our first spring fair of the year in Pasadena. The weekend was full of Jackalope Cheers, friends, pets, and fun!


Moving right along, we made it to Denver in May for our spring fair there. Where artisans hosted workshops for guests, amongst the handmade shopping galore and where we helped raise awareness for the Zane Beadles Parade Foundation!


Next up was a first for us! The 1st ever Jackalope Summer Nights came to Pasadena in August where guests could shop into the night and enjoy a drink at the beer garden.


In September, we welcomed a couple new interns to our team! Shout out to Alyssa and Chloe, they both killed it this year. Alyssa will be continuing with us in 2019 so keep an eye out for her! She is a freshman in high school and has already started her own business, ALJ Skincare- she is a Jackalope vet ;)

Jackalope 0289.jpg

And before we knew it, the year was passing us by and it was time for our fall fair in Pasadena!


Our final fair wrapping up show season we celebrated in Denver this December! One of our favorite parts of this Holiday fair is sharing the holiday cheer with our fair beneficiary, Golden Retriever Rescue of the Rockies. We just love those pups and having them get involved in the event!


And (drum roll please)…. we ended the year with a fun announcement. A new addition to Sara’s family is coming to the Jackalope team in 2019.


Looking ahead to 2019, we can’t wait for more fun in Pasadena and Denver, and we’re SO STOKED to expand our Jackalope Community to Burbank as we join their 16th annual Burbank Arts Festival!

We want to extend a huge thank you to everyone who has helped to grow our Jackalope Community this year and we look forward to seeing you in 2019!!!
