CHILDS – The Cobblestone Museum’s Flea Market is anticipated to be a bargain hunter’s paradise, according to organizer Sue Bonafini, assistant museum director.

The event is scheduled from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Aug. 12 on museum grounds, featuring a wide variety of merchandise. This includes mixed goods, vintage items, crafts, tools fishing and gardening items, toys and much more.

“Prices fit every budget and some sellers willingly negotiate prices to move their merchandise,” Bonafini said.

Homesteads for Hope will sell their locally grown produce, Wild Flour Deli and Bakery will sell baked goods and a Jordan Essentials skin care consultant is expected. A food tent will feature Zweigle’s grilled hot dogs and Partyka Farms’ sweet corn on the cob to satisfy hungry shoppers.

Nearly 30 booths have been reserved to date, but the museum will continue to accept vendors until Aug. 8.

Local residents might be motivated to gather up that “stuff” that has been sitting in closets, basements or attics and consider this opportunity to sell on a summer’s day, Bonafini said.

Booth space is 10’ x 10’ for $20. Chairs, tables and personal shade canopies are brought in by the sellers.

In addition to the many community vendors, the Cobblestone Society will sponsor the Holiday Shoppe (with Christmas themed items), white elephant sale (mixed goods) and used books.

“Thanks to the generous community members, we have loads of modestly priced merchandise to sell,” Bonafini said.
