The Elephant's Trunk Flea Market

I was reading another person's blog, A Continuous Lean, and he mentioned the Elephant's Trunk Flea Market . I was so excited. I haven't been to the trunk in over 10 years. I grew up in Bethel Ct. and I use to go on Sundays. The flea market is located on Route 7, New Milford CT.



I went this weekend with my Dad and Step Mom. We had a great time. I walked away with a pair of earrings (that matched ones I had lost), 2 flexi disks, Fallout Protection What to Know and Do About a Nuclear Attack (guide Dec. 1961), and a old child's block (with letters, numbers and image imprinted and carved on the block). All for $8. Totally siked!







Dad - thanks for emailing me the pics.
