Vintage shoppers and lovers are no doubt already aware…it’s time for the third RetroRama at the Minnesota History Center.

This time ’round we’ll be celebrating 1950’s suburbia. It’s a historical take on “Desperate Housewives.”  The best part? Everyone wears vintage.

Here are some of the features:

• 1950s fashion show by Anna Lee, Eclecticoiffeur and local designers, many fresh from the Voltage Runway, including Laura Fulk, Anna Lee, Calpurnia Peach, Kerri Riley and Rebecca Yaker.
• Cocktail & cooking demos with Nick Kosevich of Town Talk Diner.
• Shopping boutique by Swank Retro and Via’s Vintage.
• Bingo with celebrity callers.
