..campaign run against Obama got mixed with this little town per Steven Colbert.

Anyways, not much Chinese counterfeited stuff to see after this happened a few weeks ago:

I was also curious because 100k plus people converge into this little town of 3k population one weekend a month during First Monday Trade Days so thought I check it out to scratch my itch  O0...

Parking and crossing over to the flea market:








Lots of purse, handbag, and wallet but none bear the names of Gucci, Louis Vuitton, Chanel, Hermes, Burberry, ...probably due to the recent bust  ???:

Here are some of the things I don't usually see at other flea markets I've visited starting with scooter rentals at each of the entrances. I can see why because the shopping area covers 450 acres:

We brought our own wagon in case the little one needs it due to the 450 acres factor:

Also don't normally see this at the other flea markets but I get it because Christianity and church are huge in this area:




This guy didn't even rent a space like the above, he just carry this Bible and walk back and forth on the sidewalk preaching through his clip-on mega microphone:

It's such a red-neck area that seems like 80 percent of the autos I saw were trucks and the only "Jap" auto they like is Toyota truck  ???:
