This place is out of control.  They have flea markets around once a month in the summer time, and it's the largest of its kind in the area.  I tried to capture the immenseness of it all.  Every time we go we find some little treasure to bring home.  The first time it was a type tray, a letterpress H, and the vinyl record of the orginal Star Wars soundtrack.  So fun!  There's piles of old toys, Christmas booths, lots of furniture (though seldom any mid-century modern), and all the jewelry you can possibly imagine.  Besides being a great place to pick up treasures for yourself, this is a great place to find inventory for your boutique or vintage etsy shop.  I put the most recent date of the show above, but definitely bookmark their site to check back on the schedule.  You can bet that we're going to be there May ^_^

There's a little cafe up front with the kind of food you would probably expect :P

I'll take them all, kthxbai.

The jewelry on the bottom left there was all between $1-5.  Again...I'll take it all...

There's not a lot of clothing here, but usually near the back left there's a couple of vendors with some incredible selections.

Definitely worth checking out!  Let me know if you ever pop by...I'd love to know what you think...and what treasures you found!  I've got more thrift stores, antique shops and vintage boutiques here if you'd like to take a look through.
