Renningers has a few markets. Their Antique Extravaganza, which happens 3 times a year like Brimfield, and the permanent Flea & Farmers Market which is open each weekend. In a previous post, we showed what the Extravaganza was like. That day we did not go to this part as we knew we could visit it this weekend.
It is in a large building with indoor vendors selling mostly stuff from china, food, their own products and flea market items. It was big inside. Definitely not an antique flea market. One of the "legs" of the building was dedicated to the Farmers Market.
Outside to the right in the photo above was the "antique & junk" vendors. There was a lot of JUNK. If there were ant real antiques, they were priced very high! And ir was very hot! the vendors were all complaining about the heat. I guess its supposed to be in the 70's and cooler in February, today it was 85 and hot in the sun. The weather forecast is for cooler and dryer weather next week.

The decor window guy was also set up there.

We also visited a permanent area call "The Street of Shops" where people have shed with real antiques. Again these items were priced way to high for our tastes.

There was one vendor that had a huge permanent shop with tons of stuff. the stuff must have been there for years as everything was caked with dust & dirt. But it was the most interesting shop there.
I guess the glassware market is going downhill, because he has a permanent 50% off on glassware. His prices were also very high. For example, a common coffee grinder with a draw was $85. We can get these in MA for under $25.

After seeing all we could, we went to Tony's Clam Chowder place again for Soup & Salad.
