Spring antiquing time in the town of Gettysburg, PA! Neat things to look at; I, of course, was the first to purchase something at the first vendor table we came across. Many locals took advantage of the sale - yard sales were everywhere, the local high school drama troupe was selling refreshments, local churches as well, with plant sales and flea markets. Even the local library was having a book sale/donations-welcome table. We've been to this market several times over the past few years and despite today's beautiful weather, I feel there were fewer folks than I recall in the past.
We have never been able to get there early enough to compete with the serious buyers, so maybe it's a different scene in the early morning. Alack and alas, I may never know.
For those of you who have never been to an antique market, it's a ton of fun if you are interested in history, don't mind walking around a TON, and enjoy talking with people. Bring snacks and water; it usually gets hottt and the local hot dog vendors may sell out before you get desperate enough to break down and grab one.
