The Scout Flea Market is one of those events that leaves first-time visitors torn - should you tell your friends about the amazing experience you had at this fantastic flea market, or should you keep this little gem and its bargains all to yourself? Held just a few times a year, this flea market has a truly festive feel that makes it a not-to-be-missed event, whether visitors are thrift and vintage enthusiasts or just looking for a great day out.
The Scout Flea Market is usually held in the parking lot of True North, a 6000-square-foot antique store that houses some of the best antique vendors in the Morris area. This means there is plenty of room for vendors to spread out and for shoppers to browse! There is live music to dance to, along with a disco ball, an indoor swing to ride, a big screen showing the best movies of the 1980s, and plenty of food. Perhaps most importantly, there are more than 70 local vendors who definitely seem to save their best stuff for this flea. They make the most of the setting, the crowds and the atmosphere, and shoppers can find some great bargains here.
The range of items for sale at the Scout Flea means that there is something for everyone. There are great vintage tools, clothing, cowboy boots, jewelry, trinkets, pins, buckets and cabinets, furniture, posters, vases, and more. There is great salvage on display with some great re-purposing and up-cycling ideas from the vendors. Vintage and antique enthusiasts will also not be disappointed as there are always some real treasures to be found.
Scout Flea Market also likes to showcase local crafts. The vendors are very creative, and browsing through their wares can be a wonderful source of inspiration for those with a crafty spirit. Mark your calendars for the next flea and be sure to visit - you will not regret it.
