Ready! Set! Go!

Spring has sprung!!  Well, you can't tell by looking out the window this morning but believe it or not, outdoor flea market season is about to begin!! 

Jamie's Flea Market, 46388 Telegraph Rd. Amherst, Ohio is open year round.  There are over 200 inside vendors.  But things really start jumping when the warm spring air arrives.   As a matter of fact, Jamie's will be hosting a visit from the Easter Bunny on Sat. April 19, 2014!  Free photos with the Easter Bunny and Easter Egg giveaways.  A great way for the family to discover one of our areas busiest flea markets.  In the nice weather, the 400 outdoor spaces are brimming with treasures, fresh farm produce, plants, tools, musical instruments, new items such as clothing, eye glass cleaner, household goods, etc. and food stands.

The Berea Fairgrounds Flea Market starts its' outdoor season on April 5, 2014.  The flea market is held every Saturday and Sunday, 7a-2p, thru October 25, 2014.  A great day to attend would be Sunday, April 13, 2014. Earth Fest 2014 will be held at the same time as the flea market.  Another opportunity to see the flea market-the ultimate in recycling-and introduce the family to the Earth Day Coalition!  "Celebrating the Year of Zero Waste"  "Families will enjoy all day entertainment with eco-activities, biodiesel-powered amusement park rides, all day music, urban farm animals, pony rides, petting zoos, healthy food from local food trucks, local microbrews and vintners, and much more…Presented and organized by Earth Day Coalition since 1990, EarthFest is Ohio’s largest environmental education event and the longest running Earth Day celebration in the nation." website: www.earthdaycoalition.org.  A great way for everyone from Grandma to Grand Kids to spend the day.
