“Hey, vintage lovers! Join us for our final market of the year.”

From 11 a.m. – 4 p.m. on Saturday, December 21, the Desert Haze Market returns to the Hotel Congress Plaza at 311 E. Congress St. This time around — a Winter Solstice Market!

If this is your first time hearing about the once-a-month vintage clothing market, there are usually around 15 to 20 local vendors, live music, drinks, and food, and it’s totally free to attend. Each vendor sets up on the plaza to display their vintage finds — all of which are for sale.

“Explore amazing local artisans and vintage clothing vendors — it’s going to be awesome!”

At a very young age, Matt Sterner was gifted with the artistic ability to masterfully roll a burrito to the highest of standards, but the wrapped medley of delicious innards wasn’t his first love. Matt’s first true love was a combination of reading, writing, and creating. He grew up reading comics, the ingredients list of his shampoo and conditioner bottles, choose-your-own-adventure books, and the Scrabble dictionary — something he found useful when challenging his grandmother to a game.

He attended college at New Mexico State University and graduated with a degree in Digital Filmmaking. One of his favorite classes was screenwriting because he became responsible for the story’s birth before it came to life on-screen. After school, Matt took on numerous positions at a local television station in Tucson. From dealing out stories about heartbreak to producing “fluffier” content for a lifestyle broadcast, he learned what it takes to adapt to the many emotions the world of media can stir. Since 2017, Matt has dabbled in the culinary world of Tucson as well as San Diego, California from time to time.

If you’re in the mood for strange stories, head over to his pride and joy, wonkytimes.com. And in case you’re curious — yes, after all of this time, he still manages to roll a killer burrito.
