PHILLIPS – The Phillips Area Community Center (PACC) is ready to launch its third year of First-Saturday-of-the-Month Flea and Craft Markets on May 7.
Vendors from all over the area set up tables in the old gym (PACC) to sell everything from hand-knitted and hand-carved items to jewelry, books, tools, toys, and kitchenware.
“It’s a miscellaneous market,” said organizer Pam Matthews. “The only theme it has is bargain shopping and buying local.”
Started two years ago, the market quickly became a success, with more than a dozen vendors showing up on an average weekend. The PACC sells snacks and beverages, while across the way in the American Legion Hall, a weekly Farmer’s Market (from Memorial Day weekend to the end of September) features a wide range of produce and goods from local growers and bakers.
The Flea and Craft Market, located at the Community Center on Depot Street in Phillips, runs from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. every first Saturday of the month through September. Vendor tables are $10, with tables and chairs provided. Anyone who wishes to participate may call Pam Matthews at 639-2630.
