Jim Graham Building — Attraction in Cary

WOW! What a blast we had at the Adidas clearance sale. I had never heard of this before. There were thousands of items. An Adidas sports enthusiast would salivate to attend this event. Yes, that's me. The prices were amazing and the selection of items was perfect the first day. Our party went two days. The second day was just about slim pickings. However, we did leave with 2 large trash bag size packages. Ladies sneakers we're only $35 a pair. Men's sneakers ranged $35, 50 and 60. Still great prices for discontinued and some newer styles. Items were in large boxes labeled by sizes or scattered on tables. Of course you had to have plenty of time to select items. You gather it all up your wants and then select through your favorite must haves or just get it all! Did I forget to mention that it's free to get into the arena? Well it is. Looking forward to going again next year. I was able to pick up items for everyone in the family....

I'm sure at some point in its original use it made sense for this building not to have climate control.

I'd like to be more supportive of events hosted in this building, though from a practical level, the high humidity there in the summer and fall takes a drastic toll on artwork and books. Having left both overnight when I vended an event, all of the books I'd left had curled covers, and the artwork had a moist residue from the high humidity. It isn't physically comfortable to work there, and it's not fiscally rational to, if you're selling delicate items. They really need to get climate control in place for this venue for reasons other than comfort. This is important to keep in mind if you plan to vend or...

I visited this facility to attend the Vintage Market Days event. The building was a wonderful backdrop for this event that showcased vintage items, food, books, clothing, home decor, collectibles and more from vendors across the country.

The whole event was right up my alley. I can't express how much I enjoyed rummaging through items that were a part of my childhood, while discovering others for the first time.

All the vendors were super friendly, the cakes and pies we ate were extra tasty. There was even a vendor from Sherman TX, so I was able to enjoy a slice from my second home State.

I recommend anyone who goes to antique shops take a stroll around this event the next time it...
