Flea Market
will become
yearly event
The success of the Flea Market
‘held at the Meadows Nursing Center
on Saturday, June 15, has led to the
start of what the Auxiliary hopes
will become another Back Moun-
taint tradition. 1
From now on, the Saturday before
Father's Day will see the pond at
the Nursing Center surrounded by
colorful booths and stalls and
endors selling such bargains as we
saw this past week. Working type- |
writers, handmade crafts and
ceramics, beautiful antique items,
hard to find ribbons and trims,
vintage clothing, and home-made
pies and goodies.
You'd have met the Back Moun-
“tain Kiwanis fingerprinting children
and greeting everyone with good
humor and fun, the funnel cake man
dispensing his wares with lots of
laughter. It was a great day. We're
grateful for everyone who partici-
pated. Ti
