Andover Flea Market — Local services in Andover Township

I have a gripe with the ticket booth venders.

So, learning the mistake about not having my ticket, this time I go up (with ticket in hand) so that I could come back in.

I have gotten a ton of things I cherish from this flea market. Several engraved rings, a kitten, a...

Things that take you back to a better era. There are refreshment stands to staunch the heat. The lemonade is terrific. There are also farmers market produce stands. Everything and anything and something else. It's a great walk and a lot of friendly conversations. Check it out on weekends through the fall. Lord knows what...
