(Le Claire, Iowa - May 28, 2015) Mike Wolfe, creator and star of HISTORY's® series "American Pickers" and proprietor of landmark Antique Archaeology, is hosting Iowa's first KID PICKER FLEA MARKET on Saturday, June 13, 10am to 4pm at the Le Claire Levee. The event, designed by Wolfe to continue to encourage kids to collect, learn about, buy and sell their picks, is open to vendors ages 7 to 13 and to shoppers of all ages, and will be filmed by the "American Pickers" television crew for a Season 7 episode of the network's hit show.
Kid Pickers and their families, along with the general public, are invited to the Levee, just steps away from downtown Le Claire and the original Antique Archaeology store, to share and shop. There will be live music throughout the day, and the opportunity to see Wolfe, along with co-stars Frank Fritz and Danielle Colby as they meet and talk with the young Pickers.
The Twilight, a Mississippi riverboat, will be hosting the Kid Pickers on a sunset cruise at the end of the day. Tickets are also available for friends and families.
Wolfe, who wrote (with co-author Lily Sprengelmeyer) the popular KID PICKERS: HOW TO TURN JUNK INTO TREASURE (Feiwell & Friends), was born and raised in Le Claire and the Quad Cities.
