My question for those who attend BOTH Friday & Saturday:

We always go on the Friday, but notice there are usually a quantity of
empty tables / vacant spaces. Does the place fill up even more on the
Saturday, or is it pretty much the same number of vendors Friday?



For many years I have attended both Friday and Saturday, usually arriving
around noon on Friday and leaving by noon on Sunday. Friday is best for
bargains and now that they open before noon I will try to arrive even
earlier. Saturday is definitely the best attended day (sellers and
buyers) although there is a disturbing trend for sellers to pack up
mid-afternoon on Saturday (maybe they have sold evrything?). As mentioned
by another poster, Sunday is pretty poor but there are other bargains to
be had ("Please buy this, I don't want to take it home"). I wish more
sellers would stay for Sunday as I have usually made up my mind what I
want to buy by then HI.

As mentioned, weather can be a big factor. Since starting to attend in
the early '80s I have seen it all (well, all but a tornado!).

See you there!
