After speaking with some of the other vendors at the Harville Flea Market (and Market Place) we decided it was time to expand our operation further east. Hartville will continue to be a weekly stop for us; however, we wouldn’t want anyone visiting the largest open air flea market in Ohio, West Virginia, or Pennselvania to miss out on the opportunity to purchase backyard games at their finest.
Having never been to the Rogers Flea Market we didn’t really know what to expect. As anyone who’s recently been to the Rogers Flea Market already knows, we were not dissapointed. The market was bustling from early morning through most of the afternoon and into early evening. Much like Hartville, there was almost always someone stopping by to play with the games, share a story about the games they made, or just trying to figure out exactly why we had neatly stacked a bunch of wooden blocks on a bench (it turns out not everyone knows what Jenga is).
This week also marked the first time we had our version of Ladder Golf on display. The prototype had some errors in dimensions and the old golf balls we used had some people confused. Overall the response seemed pretty positive. We have some other products in the works. You can expect to see those prototypes in the near future.
