The news broke this week that will have so many of us rushing around to find our reusable bags and comfy walking shoes. With Spring officially starting it is no surprise that some of our favorite warm-weather activities are getting ready to get underway for 2022

Elephant's Trunk Flea Market shared on their Facebook page that they will be opening the gates on Sunday, April 3rd, 2022. They plan to have pre-paid tickets available in the upcoming weeks and the key to the actual opening will be the weather staying dry so that the field is ready for you and all the vendors.
