Wadena Flea & Craft Market — Local services in Wadena

I went here during the memorial weekend and have always enjoyed the treasures I find when coming to the area once a year. But this time I will NOT be coming back. I spent 2 hours walking around and found a gorgeous shell I was going to use in my wedding. The lady with dark hair and glasses that I think owns the place said she would hold it for me.

Other vendors are friendly and welcoming. Customer service 5 stars, they charge fast and you receive a receipt of your spot purchase. It needs more advertising to get people to show up, since it's so big. I liked selling, but I didn't like not making money....

If you are into finding one of a kind items and speaking to one of a kind individuals, this place is for you. 5 stars from...
