Meet a few of our Vendors:
Gail & Kardy
We’re excited to welcome Gail and Kardy back to the Retro Market, two experienced antique dealers with decades in the vintage and collecting world between them.
Gail has spent more than 40 years immersed in antiques, working in reselling, interior styling, and creating beautiful displays that tell a story. Her style has evolved over the years—from rustic and industrial pieces to what she lovingly calls the “wonderfully weird.” Gail is always searching for items with character and history, whether that’s a primitive piece of furniture, an oversized counter with dozens of drawers, a perfectly aged wooden bowl, or even a vintage Coach bag.
Alongside her is Kardy, who brings over 30 years of experience in the antique business and a deep appreciation for objects with history. Her collections span everything from jewelry, baskets, bottles, and books to some truly special finds in vintage clothing and textiles. Kardy has a remarkable eye for fabrics, patterns, and garments that capture the style and craftsmanship of another era.
Together, Gail and Kardy create booths that are as interesting to browse as the pieces themselves. You’ll find them set up inside the large red building at Adler Ranch, where their displays are always full of beautiful, unusual, and thoughtfully curated items. Plan to spend a little extra time at their booth—you never know what treasure might be waiting there.
Vintage Coach Purses

Joseph & Laura
Joseph & Laura are truly a staple of the Retro Market and one of the reasons these sales have become such a favorite for local shoppers. Many people in the area already know Joseph from past markets and sales, and his booths are always a highlight.
Joseph brings an incredible variety of antiques and collectibles, including Purex, vintage glassware, signage, vintage clothing, jewelry, toys, artwork, and many unique pieces you don’t see every day. His booth is beautifully arranged and always full of interesting discoveries for collectors and casual browsers alike.
If you enjoy booths where there’s something new to notice every time you walk by, make sure you spend some time with Joseph & Laura’s collection. It’s one of those stops where people often say, “I should take another look before I leave.”
You never know what treasure might be waiting there. This is also one of those booths that puts new things out the second day!!
Junk Drunk Picker @junkdrunk.picker
Kirby might not love the spotlight, but his vintage finds speak loudly for themselves. With over 35 years of experience buying, selling, and digging through the good stuff, @junkdrunk.picker is a legend in the world of vintage advertising, signage, and Americana. We’re excited he is returning to the Retro Market!
His style? Totally unfiltered—cabin decor, old-school clothing, trucker hats, Coke collectibles, and anything else that’s got grit, soul, and a story. If it looks like it’s been rescued from the back of a barn and has perfect patina, there’s a good chance it came from his stash.
You’ll find @junkdrunk.picker’s booth loaded with personality (even if he’s too modest to admit it). Come take a look—you might just leave with the piece you didn’t know you were hunting for. You’ll find him near the Gas Station right by our entrance.
Marlys & Kurt
Marlys & Kurt, the owners of Adler Ranch, will also have their own booth at the Retro Market featuring a collection of retro Americana treasures gathered from years of traveling and collecting.
Their booth is known for vintage signs, lights, and neon, along with classic Hamm’s memorabilia — including the Hamm’s Starry Night this year. You’ll also find neon lights in various stages of restoration, rusty treasures with character, and the kind of useful old things you didn’t know you needed until you saw them.
Marlys & Kurt enjoy traveling far and wide in search of interesting pieces, so their booth always has a mix of unexpected finds and nostalgic favorites. If you’re looking for them, their booth will be easy to spot — under the giant neon Liquor sign and near the gas station.
And of course, if you have questions about Adler Ranch weddings or corporate events, that’s a good place to find Marlys or Kurt too.
Olive Branch Vintage
We’re so excited to welcome Olive Branch Vintage to the Retro Market! Olive Branch Vintage is an experienced antique dealer with booths throughout the local area and is now branching out to join us at the Retro Market. Their collection is known for beautiful vintage glassware, unique jewelry, classic vintage clothing, and some truly excellent finds that collectors love.
If you enjoy digging through thoughtfully curated vintage pieces and discovering something special to take home, you’ll want to stop by their booth. You never know what treasure you might find.
Vendor Spotlight: Kori – Grandma’s Jewelry
We’re thrilled to welcome Kori back to the Adler Ranch Retro Market again! Kori is a multi-talented singer, songwriter, jingle producer, and piano instructor with deep roots in both music and Midwest vintage. With 17 published songs to her name and a love for storytelling, it’s no surprise her jewelry collection has its own flair for nostalgia.
Kori grew up in North Dakota going to auction sales with her dad, and vintage runs in the family—her brother is even a licensed auctioneer. About five years ago, she began selling vintage jewelry in Anoka, MN, and her collection, often labeled Grandma’s Jewelry, has been a favorite at shops like Past & Present, Yesterdays Antique Mall, and Krupke’s Consignments.
Now, she’s bringing her sparkly treasures to the Retro Market, and we couldn’t be more excited. ✨ Stop by and browse her curated collection of classic, timeless jewelry—each piece full of charm and history.
Matt & family
Matt & family will be joining the Retro Market again with a mix of antiques, rustic pieces, and vintage gas & oil cans — the kind of booth that’s always fun to dig through because you truly never know what you’ll find.
Their space tends to be full of interesting pieces with character, from old farm and shop items to vintage treasures that collectors and decorators both love. It’s the kind of booth where something unexpected usually catches your eye.
Take a few minutes to browse their tables — Matt & family always seem to bring along something you didn’t know you were looking for.
Jerry & Shelley from The Vintage Hen & Chick
We’re excited to be hosting Jerry & Shelly from The Vintage Hen & Chick at the Retro Market this year! You can also find her on You Tube! Jerry and Shelly curate hard-to-find vintage and antique home décor, along with their own hand-finished, creatively restored statement pieces. They’re also vendors at Past & Present Home Gallery and love sharing timeless, one-of-a-kind finds with real character and history.
Jim & Donna
We’re happy to welcome Jim & Donna to the Retro Market. They’ll be bringing a variety of antiques and vintage items for shoppers to explore.
Whether you're a collector, decorator, or just enjoy the thrill of finding something unexpected, be sure to stop by their booth and see what treasures they’ve brought along.
The Happy Hot Rods lemonade Stand
Be sure to stop by The Happy Hot Rods Lemonade Stand, run by three young entrepreneurs five and under, with a little help from Mom and Dad.
These kids are already learning the antique business the right way — hunting for interesting treasures, setting up their booth, and greeting customers with big smiles and a “Good morning.” Alongside their collection of antiques, vintage finds, kids stuff, dirt bike parts and motorcycle gear, they’ll also be serving lemonade to thirsty shoppers wandering through the Retro Market.
Kathy & Patty
Calling all vinyl lovers and music collectors — Kathy & Patty will be bringing back their great selection of vintage albums and music-related finds to the Retro Market.
From classic records to interesting pieces of music history, their booth is a must-stop for anyone who enjoys flipping through crates and rediscovering the soundtrack of the past. Whether you're hunting for a specific album or just love the thrill of finding something unexpected, you’ll want to take your time browsing their collection.
