SUKANEN SHIP VILLAGE — If you are looking for a place to sell or buy your treasures or unwanted items the Outdoor Flea Market at Sukanen Ship Museum is the site.
The third annual Outdoor Flea Market will be Saturday, June 22 at the museum grounds 13 kilometres south of Moose Jaw on Highway 2.
“It’s looking good,” said Evan Davis, one of the organizers, almost two weeks before the event. ‘We’ve got quite a few vendors signed up already. Some are waiting to see what the weather is going to be like.
“The last two years we’ve grown a little bit. The first year was about 60 vendors. Last year it was just over 70. We’re shooting for somewhere around that this year.
“We’ve got a lot of real estate. We can handle more than 100,” he said.
Vendors can phone Davis at 306-981-4925. “If they want to wait and watch for the weather, we can sign them up the day before.”
For $20 vendors get a 20-foot-wide space and can rent from the limited number of museum tables, bring their tables or sell from their vehicle.
The flea market runs from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. People movers will take visitors from the front gate to the vendor sites.
“There will be a little bit of everything. There will be some garage sale stuff, some antiques and collectibles, some used car parts, memorabilia.”
The museum will have tables with items for sale.
One of Moose Jaw’s most prolific collectors plans to be at the show to downsize his collection, started when he was five years old.
For regular admission fees “not only are you getting in the flea market you get access to the whole museum for the day.’’
All the museum buildings in the pioneer village will be open.
A full concession is operated by the museum.
“Concession is cash only so please bring lots of cash. Most of the vendors are cash only.”
