John,
I feel your pain.
I went to a local farmers market this week end for the first time in years.
I went directly to the flea market area and was saddened to see nothing there.
I love flea markets, and browsing at all the "junk".
I hope this isn't a trend, but un fortunatly, I believe it's a sign of the times. The "little mom and pop" stores, flea markets, the corner bar, the country store, etc. are being pushed aside by big corporations and mega stores.
Hope to see you all in April..I'm trying my best to get there !

SeeYa
