I hadnβt been to Webster Flea Market in over 20 years, and my first visit back earlier this year in February brought back so many memories. There were so many vendors to browse, great energy all around, and we were even able to grab a bite to eat and relax after walking for hoursβit truly felt like old times!
Unfortunately, todayβs visit (July) told a different story. I arrived around 8:45 AM, and the market was noticeably scarce. Some vendors were still setting up, but overall, it lacked the vibrant hustle and bustle I remembered. It definitely feels like things are on the decline.

When I received a check it was for $600 β still shorted me over$300 , I was talking to a much bigger farmer and he showed me 8 market tags he had and had 1-2 shorted on each of his tickets. I advised him to check into it . Thatβs a lot of money adding up all the shorted ones . The market has cameras and can check your animals all the way through to locate the problem.
