FARMERS AND FLEA MARKET
EXTENDED TO SATURDAYS
Downtown Pocomoke City
Visitors to the eastern shore will want to be sure to stop by the ever-expanding Pocomoke City Farmers & Flea Market. Due to popular demand, Pocomoke City announced that it will add an additional day to its Farmers & Flea Market. The well-attended outing has been growing for the past several years, and as a result, the city is now opening the event on Saturdays, while maintaining the regular Friday schedule.
In addition to the usual offering of fresh local produce and abundance of costume jewelry you might find at similar venues, Pocomoke’s market hosts a wide variety of unique items, like fishing equipment, hand-carved birds and knives, Civil War relics, and wholesale homegrown plants, shrubbery and flowers. Visitors will also find a plethora of used books, tools, electronic equipment, quilts, toys, clothing, and accessories, including Vera Bradley handbags.
Rick Fish, of Rick Fish Antiques & Decoys, is a regular vendor at Pocomoke’s Farmers & Flea Market. Rick has been a “picker” since he was a kid and a bird carver for fifty-two years. According to Rick, Pocomoke’s size and location are desirable. “Pocomoke’s location is beautiful and comfortable, by the river, said Rick. “I find it an enjoyable place to sell my goods. It is one of the safer places I come to and I have made a lot of friends here over the years. The people are friendly and the environment is relaxing,” said Rick. He has been in the antiquing business for thirty-one years and has been working flea markets for the past fifteen. He is pleased that Pocomoke City will be expanding the Farmers and Flea Market to Saturdays and thinks it will bring more visitors to Pocomoke’s downtown.
Mayor Bruce Morrison said that he is excited about the plan to expand the Famers & Flea Market. “The downtown area is one of my major priorities as mayor and something I spoke about frequently when I campaigned for this office. The expansion will bring more visitors to our beautiful downtown area,” he said.
