Personal: Flea Markets
One of the joys of Saturday morning, other than not going to work, is the search for a bargain at a flea market. One man's trash might turn into your treasure. It's quite easy to spend hours searching tables hoping to find something for virtually nothing.
Here are some flea market tips.
22nd Annual Walden Flea Market
TM Davies Community Cente, Walden
705-692-3110
The 22nd Annual flea market at Walden's community Centre. This year held on May 8, 1999.
Craft Fest 99
Bell Park, Sudbury
705-673-5588
This is Northern Ontario's largest outdoor craft festival. This year held
June 18-20, 1999.
Management Services used to own the Exhibition Centre at 967 Falconbridge Road
(just south of Lasalle Blvd on the west side), but they no longer hold a
flea market there. (705) 560-5084
There are a couple of farmers' markets in Sudbury as well:
- Farmers Festival Market on Shaugnessy St (250-674-5115)
- Notre Dame, on the east side, south of the Taxation Data
Centre (across from Cambrian Heights Drive)
The newspapers are an excellent source for who's holding a yard sale on
what day, where, what they're selling, etc. There are farm stands, where
farmers sell their own fresh produce, on the various country roads in the area.
