Community and art at Walker Beach’s Mom Said Flea

On Saturday, Sept. 20, Pomona College hosted the Mom Said Have Fun flea market at Walker Beach. Grateful to have a moment of respite from midterm season, students wandered around over 60 different booths, browsing through potted plants, handmade jewelry, vintage clothing and more. Students expressed their excitement about getting to pick out new clothes and decorations for the fall while also supporting small businesses. Amidst digging through piles of clothing, perusing hand-printed posters and receiving a tarot card reading, students took part in a larger effort to build community amongst 5C students. The flea market highlights the amalgamation of passions and skills present in the Claremont community, where students can unwind, foster friendships and embrace the local art scene.
