Why it matters: Events like this support Colorado music dealers and other local media collectors.

Of note: No worries if you don't own a vinyl record player. There will be CDs, cassette tapes, posters, music DVDs, and memorabilia to purchase.
When: 9am (early entry), 11am–4pm (regular entry) Saturday, and 10am–3pm Sunday.
