The Flea Market is Coming in September!
Our Annual Flea Market on the W. Brookfield Common will be held on Saturday, September 13th and we are seeking vendors! Would you like to rent a 20 x 20 grassy spot on the common for $40? Crafters, vendors, tag salers and others are welcome to join in the fun! This is a great way to get rid of unneeded items and enjoy a beautiful day.
