Lots of stuff to buy the inside as nice and air conditioned, kinda small but very fun and can find a good deal and barter
Large flea market. Variety of items indoors and out. Hasn't changed much in years but always fun to spend the day here
It's a great Flea market. The only problem is people are closing up at 3 and not 5 as stated! So which is it?
