I’m all for things that are dual-purpose. Like those pants that can zip off into shorts. Not the best example? Here’s a better one:
A venue that’s a drive-in movie theater by night, and a Flea Market by day (on Sundays, that is). Yes, it exists, and it’s right here in Hermon, Maine.
I stopped by before work with the intention of a quick “hello” to my mom as she set up her booth, and ended up staying for over an hour perusing the aisles and chatting with vendors. What I thought was just a large rummage sale actually turned out to be a diverse spread of antiques, clothing, toys, plants, furniture, crafts, and artwork, flaunting unique hand-made items from woodwork to dog biscuits.
I was particularly impressed with a college student selling some out of this world spray paint art:
You’ll find jewelry-makers, crocheters, collectors, hikers selling their gear, and just your average Joe-next-door parting with some household items. The welcoming, laidback atmosphere makes it a bargain-hunting experience that can’t be passed up.
The Flea Market runs 8-2pm on Sundays, and the tentative last date for the season is August 26th! Concessions are available throughout the day, and the event persists rain or shine. There’s a $1 entrance fee per vehicle if you just want to shop around. The vendor fee (if you want to set up your own booth) is $20 for the day. You can message the Bangor Drive-In on Facebook if you’re interested in selling your own creations or gently used items.
SO happy we met! Love your website and took several of your suggestions. Continue living your life as you are. It took us 50+ years to figure out what you have already learned. Stay cool and can’t wait until our paths cross again.
