“No need for Sun-Tan lotion at this market,” state Bob Zurko of Zurko’s Midwest Promotions, promoter of the special event. It’s a night of “Flea & Fun”!
It’s treasure-hunting at its finest, as dealers gather their “FLEAS & STUFF including Antiques, Crafts, County Furniture, Old Comics, Toys, MEMORABILIA of all sorts and lots of Collectibles. The “Late Night Flea Market Fest” affords a great opportunity for folks who generally cannot attend a Flea Market during the day. Great food & snacks will be available. Dealers will be indoors, in tents and open-air, as the market goes rain or “MOON SHINE”! As always, the fun is in the hunt. Bring ‘FLASHLIGHTS”!
