on Fox 11 News In Depth with Hal Eisner
Pierson Blaetz and Whitney Weston, the founders of the Melrose Trading Post, join Hal to talk about the 25th anniversary of the beloved swap meet. They say when they originally created it, it was supposed to be a one-time event, but grew into a weekly event that has benefited the arts at Fairfax High School for two and a half decades.
Blaetz and Weston tell us about the vendors, performers and artists who value the Trading Post, and how it has become an example for other schools.
