This big Flea Market, in Canton Texas, is called First Monday. Once a month is a big deal.
Its near where KitKat and War Eagle live. I try to go couple times a year, I like it a lot...
Find the 1st Monday of the month, and its the weekend before it. Its pretty cool place.
Have you heard of First Monday in Texas?

Round here in the warm months, we used to have First Fridays at 5. There would be bands, and food, a fleamarket maybe, and what not. It might be round this year....no way to know one year to the next.

There's another place just like it in Winnie, Texas...southeast Texas......They call it
Larrys old time trade days ...maybe 15 20 acres of nothing but what I call junk , collectibles, antiques and the such.....There is no way you can make every booth in one day's times ......seems as though they have it the same time as the one you've mentioned.

I like perusing flea markets....but some people know what they got, and they won't give a good deal!

We have a flea mall a couple of miles from me. As a matter of fact that is where I bought my love seat with the fold out bed. I've been to it a couple of times just looking to see if there was anything I couldn't live without, except for the love seat, nope. I have yet to see a flea for sell.

You don't need to pay for fleas....the puppy will attract them soon enough.

There is a flea market near the airport here which is open every weekend. We go about every 3 weeks and sometimes there are fantastic deals to be had. It's a lot of fun when you hit on something.
