Our 2 NEWS photographer spoke with a man who has been at the market for two years. Jeff Anderson sells household items and cleaning products; his wife sells oddities.
When asked what stands out most to him about the flea market, he shared his thoughts.
'It's more fun than a yard sale. There are a lot of people who come by each week and there's a comradery there. There's several vendors who line up beside us, we have our neighbors each week,' said Anderson. 'We get to see the community and people all summer long.'
He said the weather caused fewer people to come out than normal.
'It's definitely turned it down; the flea market opprates better on a sunny day. It's usually dark when you get here but it lightens up and everything's fine. The rain generally keeps the vendors and especially the costumers away,' said Anderson.
He shared his closing thoughts.
'Come on out. It's a great place to get a deal and see your neighbors,' said Anderson.
The market will run until the fall.

Sunshine midweek for the Tiers. Bring it on!
ELMIRA, N.Y. (WETM) – We are finished with the showers and thunderstorms for the next 24 hours as a drier airmass moves in tonight. Wednesday features more sunshine and a comfortable go of it. However, we are not going to have a chance to get used to the sunshine and stay dry for a while before a more unsettled weather pattern settles in for late week into the weekend. Tonight through part of the day Thursday are expected to be dry and breezy. Thursday night may have an isolated shower or two and those without the rain will see some early morning fog Friday before the next round of rain comes through. Most of the weekend including Father's Day will also be cloudy and rainy. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
