Today, Saturday was the big day here at the Lone Star Corral, for the annual flea market. We were down at the club house a little before 8am, setting up our table for engraving. we really did not expect to do very much but did get a couple of interested people, from the outside attenders that may mature into something in the future.
A quite large crowd at 8am buying all kinds of items, from table saws to knic knac items inside that were for sale by the members. There were a lot of consignment items available outside on the porch where we were located. Everything from a 3 piece sectional that sold quite early to an electric lawn mower that did not appear to work. The mower was still there at the close of the sale. We were not here last year but they said there were not nearly as many attendees last year. Probably the economy had a lot to do with it. It was really a very interesting group of people. Many come year after year. I do not know how many years it has been going on, but one member said they had been here for 10 years and it was going on at that time.
Of course, I had to sample the food, so I had a breakfast burrito which was served with salsa and jalapeno peppers. I checked out the salsa first and it was quite hot, so I did not see a need to add the peppers as well. For lunch I had an Italian sausage with peppers and onions which was quite good.
It looked like the sale was a success even though a lot of items did not sell, but they will mostly all go back in the shed for next year. It appeared, that a good time was had by all, members and attendees as well.
