About 3,000 people and 200 vendors attend the Pittsburgh Reptile Show & Sale, held on the first Sunday of every month at the Pittsburgh Mills mall in Frazer. The next show will be from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sunday, May 4.
Thousands of people dodged the potholes plaguing the Pittsburgh Mills shopping complex in Frazer Sunday to attend the monthly Pittsburgh Reptile Show & Sale.
Some 200 vendors were offering a selection of reptiles, amphibians and other exotic pets. The show, held on the first Sunday of each month, draws about 3,000 people, show promoter Amanda South said.
While the complex’s potholes have drawn the ire of shoppers and, now, criminal charges, South said they were not keeping away vendors or visitors, who she said were just driving more carefully.
