Eleven Acre Flea Market — Attraction in Thomasville

Visited yesterday. This is not the flea market of the past, with antique furniture, interesting collectibles, etc. It's pretty much an open air Walmart. Getting in & out to park was terrible, it was jam-packed, with delays, sitting & waiting for cars ahead to find a parking spot.

But this is just my opinion and whether selling or buying I've had great experiences here through the 15 years or so I've been going. I wish I could go more because I...

By law you are not supposed to sell dead crabs it will get people sick. As a health official this bothers me. She knew the owner was away on vacation for Labor Day and slid those dead crabs out to sell to people the health department would not agree with this at all I see a lawsuit in the making because you are responsible for what you sell in our community and we can get sick from you selling us dead crabs! Other than that this is an awesome Flea market and everyone else has respect enough to sell pretty good items and fresh vegetables also the stand up some from this one always have the freshest seafood and reasonably prices so this review is solely based upon the...
