June Elkhorn Flea Market Report

The June Antique Market is in the books-and it is Monday morning and time for coffee and reflection.  It was one of the better Elkhorns for us.

Hot hot hot on set up on Saturday.  We observed while waiting in line to get in for set up that there were several dealers who were setting up for the first time.  That is a good thing for shoppers--you know the merchandise will not be picked over, and they may not be quite up to speed on pricing and bargains can be had.

We set up in North Hall and continue to really like that venue.  The size, good lighting, concrete floors and proximity to the "conveniences" make for a great location.  We had very strong sales on Saturday during set up.  It rained overnight--but being in a secure building makes that of no concern to us.  Early Sunday morning while walking around ahead of official opening--I did notice plenty of people wiping off soggy furniture.  Just can't understand that.  We care too much about our merchandise to want it to get rained on and ruined.

It always takes awhile for folks to get to coming inside--but our sales were steady and we were very pleased.  Actually it tied our best Elkhorn ever.  Early shopping on Saturday--when the public can get in for $25.00 a person instead of $5.00 on Sunday was lighter in number of people--but the folks were buying.

The crowds were amazing.  While June is traditionally the smallest of the four markets in number of dealers--that did not diminish the crowd this time

Next Elkhorn is August 10th.  We will be bringing all fresh merchandise that we will be accumulating over the next month.

Good sales and good Chinese food at Moy's in Elkhorn--make us happy dealers this month.
