This was my first flea market experience, when I was 4 or 5 years old. I don't remember it perfectly, but I can safely say it's the reason for my junk addiction! lol
It's a must!
Words of advice:
1. Wear clothes you can get dirty and shoes good for climbing.
2. Be prepared to sort through (and sometimes climb) mountains of unorganized "junk". The fun part...it's like a treasure hunt! I've been known to hold an item up and yell in the general direction of the seller "5 bucks!" And 9 times out of 10, the response is going to be "Sure!"
3. If you can't take a trailer, get the truck with the biggest bed you can find...you'll need it, trust me!
This little gem is definitely a diamond in the rough. It's ugly as sin, but you'll find some great stuff! Lots of tin, metal, old glass, etc. The outside booths have the best finds.

This fun little find gets it's name from the infamous bank robbers, Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow, who met their end nearby. If you're in the area or just driving through, you absolutely should drop in! It's well worth the time!

How neat! I'm seeing it longways, with S-hooks, as a potrack. Thanks!

This is great! I've actually got a stash of stencils for pumpkin carving, but I've never considered adding paint to the mix! What a great idea!
