We went to the Mobile Flea Market with Uncle Fred and Uncle Ron on Sunday. It is advertised as the largest Flea Market on the Gulf Coast with over 800 booths, concession stands and free parking. It is certainly a sight to see and a very popular place. Thousands of people attended along with us!
We had a fascinating day, people watching and wandering through the many buildings and stalls. They sell a lot of stuff here. Dave bought a 3/4 inch box end wrench and Uncle Ron bought a cast iron plant. Every time he refers to this plant I look for a metal statue then remember that he's talking about a plant! Cast irons look a lot like a hasta!

What surprised us most was the sale of animals at the flea market. From chickens to puppies, rabbits dogs and alligator heads, you could find just about anything there.
The Mobile Flea market is a fascinating place place! It has a quaint, back woods, "what the heck is THAT", kind of feel to it. Fred and Ron informed us ahead of our visit that it is not your usual flea market. Boy is that an understatement!
