We can find a treasure. and then it says an rv overnight. i like the sign that says no rv. uh
their seven dollars. gonna get the pink flamingo. looks like they got full hookups here. we're in a
section where all the food is. this is definitely something that you should put on your list!
wow have we been. i thought we were done.
they have a place called the pie place. i'm just amazed.
do you like flea markets yes that was quickly answered how about the largest
flea market in the united states have you ever been there flea market we like
no not that kind of fleas this is flea markets where you go
and you look at you know vendors and things like that and uh we are heading down to canton texas
to the first monday trade days it uh began i think sometime in the late 1850s actually it changed its
name a couple times and it's not actually even held on monday right it's thursday through sunday
they changed it the schedule later in years but they decided to keep the name of first monday
trade days forever and ever it's open sun rain or snow from sun up to sundown we're gonna go check
it out and uh see what we can find because they're supposed to be over i mean thousands of vendors
i can't remember what the number is yeah and over a hundred thousand people come to visit this
the thursday through the sunday time frame and everything wow and uh maybe we'll find something
what's that what's that phrase someone's junk can be your treasure we can find a treasure
do
wow as far as you can see there's cars everywhere parking rates are
five dollars i'm reading a sign here vehicle with trailer is eight dollars
the rv day only is eight dollars and then it says an rv overnight and something's in small print
let's go check that out pretty good uh spot there right on the end shouldn't get lost finding our
truck but it's a little windy okay for the rv overnight it says see office at log cabin
what'd you find today honey i bought me a couple pipes pipes and a turquoise turquoise pot
i like the sign that says no rvs over 35 feet long
they do have atms here but we've heard that you need to get your cash
in a hurry because the atm machines run out of cash quick we're here on the very first day
so they should have plenty of everything but this walking up it looks like a state fair it's so big
there's multiple places that we could have went in which way do we go george oh the crowd
how much are these uh they're seven dollars each
hammertown
album
of course you know we just came here for the food
um haven't seen any pie yet though have we pie girl no but we
just had uh chips and queso there and it was really good pretty darn good
what's next i don't know something that's oh no we're looking for food
michelle taught me something i didn't know that there is a correlation with flamingos pink
flamingos and airstreams i think it really has to do with the 1950s yeah and the nostalgia of the
of the time but uh came across these baskets here she thought they would work well they pulled down
for like taking things to the laundry room or soap and hangers and all that stuff because the bags
the zillion bags we have aren't yeah rectangle like that and i think that would just be and then
they fold up yeah nice and like that and store it away 15 bucks gonna get the pink flamingos
do
yep we're in texas
quite a few camping spots around here over here way over there about as far
as you can see over there quite a few looks like they got full hookups here
they look kind of old but long as they work they got them cramped in here
you literally need a map because you will get lost there is we already did once yeah like she said
there is a map online they probably provide one up at the front too somewhere we just didn't see them
sorry about my mickey mouse ears the great crepe we're in a section where all the food is a lot
of the food is homemade ice cream this is literally just like a state fair isn't it
a girl yeah somewhat it is it's about big enough i see the rides of course the dogs are getting
rides and waves yeah some of the kids but this is definitely something that you should put on
your list to go see because it's uh we can't even show everything it's uh you really need a map um
there is one online on their website remember the name of the website all right the website's right
down here yeah we already got lost once i had to find out where our truck was parked because we
had to take some things back there i did i ran back there i didn't know how out of shape i was
oh creeps
so
everywhere you look
foreign
um
wow
what was the name of this place again the great crepe
the great crepe mm-hmm for pete's steaks you gotta try the great crepe is it really good that's good
very good so what would you rate it that's an eight that's an eight grape an eight grape
i thought we were done we came around this corner
you go through this building and you can see way up there up the road that there's a lot
more i can't believe it's this big we're gonna need more fuel again holy cow better get sugar
we just keep finding more and more and more we are not done there's building after building
besides everybody being outside there's this big long building too
there's another building there's buildings way down there this building's way up that way i mean
i don't know how you could ever go through this entire
thing in one day that's why you need to come back
oh my god they have a place called the pie place
so what flavor did you get peach pizza fried pie fried pie
they had coconut but fried pie it's not gonna be coconut cream right it's not the same that's it
it's got like a glaze on it all right
don't worry you just can't watch or eat that's that's torture all right tell us how it is
that's good now i need a cup of coffee to go with it that does sound good doesn't it it is good
and it's called the pie place canton texas and uh how would you rate that little fried
pie as far as a fried pie goes probably about a seven it must be pretty good then
i still can't get over how busy this how big it is we still have i have not seen everything i'm just
amazed
we still didn't get to see everything
and uh we're gonna stop here and take the shuttle back to the vehicles
i don't have any more energy cute little shasta camper here
so
have we mentioned that this is a big flea market
throughout the day would you really call it a flea market i don't know honestly minus the rides
it's like a state bear i guess there's no the only animals there were dogs but
bottom line you gotta go it was very very interesting to see all the stuff there's
there's so many different things it wasn't just somebody's junk there's a lot of like
selling new things as well a lot of food vendors lots of new items and clothes there it's a lot
of stores that i mean look like actual stores boutiques and stuff since they're there every uh
every month from a thursday to the sunday i guess a lot of them are pretty much a permanent fixture
but wow we've seen people uh the crepes the crepes people they were from
idaho uh we saw a vendor from iowa yeah we asked them if they wintered here nope
they just came down for this only to sell their things so it's uh their crafts they had crafts
so it must be fairly lucrative to come all the way down you know to travel that far just for this
man i could not believe we went to one other flea market in southern texas and it was huge
this blew that away right so somebody that um frequents this flea market a lot was telling us
that the last couple years um it's usually not that busy um was the last couple years
or just last since cobit no sh she said the last couple years obviously last year would have been
not very busy if they were even open we don't know but um
she said today this was definitely it looked like what years past was always like you know
so many people and everything so yeah so it's good to see that typically around 100 000 people
over the four day period yeah sure it looked like there was that many people there today
we're gonna stop and get some firewood and uh we have a solo stove that we have not
used yet so we're gonna use it for the first time personally i think i'd still rather have the gas
yeah me too you would too the propane having our burgers with no bun exciting
