My question for those who attend BOTH Friday & Saturday:
=20
We always go on the Friday, but notice there are usually a quantity =
of=20
empty tables / vacant spaces. Does the place fill up even more on =
the=20
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. =20

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!). =20

See you there!
