Was shocked and amazed to hear about this place from my brother and sister in- law of all people. Honestly, they are the last two people that I would ever expect to see at a flea market.
Decided to take a small road trip to see what finds we could discover. It took about 45 minutes to get there from St. Paul. From the hwy, I was joking that I'd hoped what we sailed by wasn't the place. Sure enough,it was.
It's located on the side of the hwy on the left hand side. It's a bunch of outdoor stands and booths with people selling all of their stuff.
A lot of it felt like it catered to the male demographic as there were many booths with tires, old tools and other stuff guys into that stuff would get a kick out of.
As we ventured down, lots of other stands with an array of old stuff.
-Home Goods
-Baseball cards
- Musical Instruments-
-One stand was all the mini version of cars for kids (think a little escalade)
-VHS movies galore
-Shoes
-Fruits and Vegetables
- Pickles- but they looked as though were Gedney pickles you could get at a grocery store.
There were a few Motley Crew and other 80's bands mirrors which cracked me up. I used to see those at the State Fair all the time.
I'm amazed at what people find in their basements sometimes.
It's a treasure hunt of old stuff, new stuff and some questionable stuff.
Most of the vendors were pretty nice and outgoing. Some looked a little surly.
Plenty of parking on the lawn. Little food trailers selling State Fair type food.
It's an alright place to stop if in the Taylors Falls area or if looking for something to do for the afternoon. I just don't know that I would drive all that way again unless I knew for sure they would have what we were looking for.
But I guess that's the beauty of looking for old stuff. Never know what you are going to find...
