I'm an avid Flea Market goer and recent flea market vendor. The Circle Drive-In is a fabulous flea market to frequent as a buyer, but not so much on the vendor side. For example, you can find avid deals as a buyer from clothes, video games, market wares, and even freshly prepared food from the attending trucks that Sunday. Although, it is a very difficult location to make a profit as a vendor. First, you are required to purchase a space for $25 and are required to purchase a tax sheet!?!? The tax sheet needs to be purchased for $5, and you are not told until reprimanded by a city official sneakily overviewing the event. Second, the majority of buyers are just there to socialize and speak with individuals they are familiar with. For example, I have had multiple people inform me that their friends are selling the same items for less and to pack it up for the day. It takes double the effort to make a sale at this market, and it's not worth the time. I have received the same complaints from other neighboring vendors, and they have detoured from selling at this event for this reason. The vendors are now leaving at 11 AM on a daily basis because they will not wait to make $20 for lookey-loo's to request 90% off items when they are attending the market with 1-2 hours left. Thirdly, the area allows smoking and with no restraints. The individuals smoking make it difficult to breathe at times, and they have no courtesy for others or even children. Overall, I would suggest frequenting other events because they are a dime a dozen and are much more of a delight to attend. As a buyer, you can definitely find a deal, but because the vendors have no choice but to sell at such a bottom...

Once we got parked and situated it was great but getting to screen #2 was challenging in the dark. After you pay there is one sign that says turn left and thatās it. We looped around twice and had to keep the headlights on because it was so difficult to see where the rows start and where the potholes/rocks were. (No poles, arrows, lights) There was only one other car in the lot at the time but Iām used to other drive ins near me that have people directing or at least the screen is showing previews before showtime so you can see the parking spaces a bit. We also didnāt know if there was a concession stand/bathroom or where the it was. Again, some sort of directions or signs would have been extremely helpful. If itās your first time to a drive-in make sure to ask for details! (Iāve been to one that gives a print out with rules & info when you enter and it was helpful for the first visit) I will add, the person in the ticket stand was extremely friendly and answered questions about price/showtimes. We will absolutely support this theater again if we visit the area again. I saw the concession stand when leaving - itās at screen #1 so I imagine you can walk down the road carefully to get to it. I look forward to trying the concessions next time! Especially because itās a good way to...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreMy boyfriend and I decided to take a night out and go see the new Jurassic Park Movie. First he decided to go to the snack bar and get a few things he made two trips. The first trip he bought popcorn which was probably made an hour before the movie even started you could tell it was already stale. Next he had also bought two cokes which were so watered down and flat I literally thought he had bought me iced tea. Probably due to the fact that the sodas were pre-poured in batches to be sold instead of making them to order .God only knows how long the drinks were sitting as the ice inside them was melting. He then bought me a soft pretzel that literally tasted like cardboard even the Auntie Anneās pretzel from the grocery store had a better flavor then the one we purchased. The Final trip he made he had gotten an order of nachos that the bag was 1/4 of the way full with chips. At that point we both agreed that we shouldāve stopped for food beforehand. The food was so disappointing & you would think it would be better because this place has so much potential to be so much more but continues to...
