The Scene At One Of The Waco Flea Markets Can Be Exhausting

By Janet Anderson


There are a lot of things to do in Waco. You can hike in some of the beautiful parks or take in some of the other attractions, such Six Flags. There are also some things happening, almost every weekend in good weather where you can gain a lot of other things. It is a place where people offer things that you may not have seen before and offer them at a price you can not afford to ignore. Those places are the Waco flea markets that are available.

There is any number of these happening on just about all weekends. You will be able to find one with some help from friends or family. You can also find them listed on community boards in many grocery stores. Your church may also list some of them in their bulletins. You may also meet people, there, who set up regularly, at least on the day church is not in session.

A flea market is a unique place where people, individuals and or businesses, have paid a fee to rent a space where they can set up a table. The table is usually included in the rent price. They will have things set up to sell to anyone who enters. You will find all sorts of stuff, some of it junk and some it quite interesting to look at if not to buy.

What you will find, depending on who is set up, could be things that might be found in their garages. Other items will make their space look like a yard sale. Some vendors will use this time to remove clutter from their home and see if someone else would like to have it clutter their house.

Some small businesses in the area will also be represented. Most of them will place the same things they usually have in the store they have right down the street. The thing about it, though, is they will usually offer these same things at a discount. They will also feel it appropriate, toward the end of the day to reduce their prices even more and haggle or barter for it as well.

There are always food vendors there. You can find hot dogs and hamburgers and slices of pizza. There will be coffee, soft drinks, and beer if they and the location are licensed for it. Many of these food vendors are actually food carts set up, occasionally, just for these types of events.

There is usually no charge to you as you enter. All fees for the land or lot is paid by the vendors. This means you can come and browse and have fun. It is a chance to find things that you might not have seen before and see what others like to acquire. You might be able to sell a couple of things you have to one of the vendors if they are having a good day.

Remember, when you arrive, that you can find a lot of stuff that you just have to have. There will probably not be anything that you really need. But, that is all part of the fun. Find friends or meet new ones. Look at the stuff that will make a good gift and enjoy a bit to eat with friends, old and new.
