There was a fairly large flea market, held about this time in the Spring at the
Duchess County Fairgrounds. It was notable in that most of the vendors were
indoors, in the Fair pavilions, and bad weather wasn't a concern. It seems to be
gone for some time now. I saw my only Sargent "Ladybug" dado plane in the wild
there - it was $65. I bought a Starrett micrometer that day.

There is a smaller flea market weekends in Lebanon, Northern Columbia County -
about a mile from the Shaker settlement. This one seems to me a genuine flea
market and not an antiques fair. Parking is awful. On warm days some vendors set
up across the road (US20/22) and in nearby parking lots.
