The Flea Market

Today Chris and I went to the 42nd Annual Hillsville Flea Market.

Once a year tens of thousands of people gather in my small hometown.
We walked around for a little over two hours. I had a polish sausage and Chris had a pork barbeque sandwich. The girl at the BBQ stand said they sold over 1000 BBQ sandwiches on Saturday.
The Flea Market is a great place to people watch. We saw a few men moving a giraffe statue. What do you think they did with it when they got it home?
Chris wanted to try an apple dumpling but they had sold out. Notice the man on porch with a riffle. The Hillsville Flea Market started as a gun show at the VFW. It has grown to include all kinds of additional stuff (or junk in some cases) but they still sell guns without a background check. In Virginia, gun stores and Walmart have to do background checks but not gun shows.
