"Flea Jr." To Focus on Kids & Family Clothes, Items, Activities

TROY -- The popular Troy Flea will host a special kids themed "Flea Jr." market on Sunday Sept. 13 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.

In addition to a wide selection of lightly used second hand clothing and toys, the riverfront market will feature carnival games, a bouncy bounce, candy, face painting and other kids' activities.

"'Flea Jr.' is for families who want quality clothes and toys but don't want to spend ridiculous amounts of money on items that their kids will quickly grow out of," said Jessica McEnaney, Troy Flea organizer. "We are very selective of our vendors, so these are really nice second hand items presented as new."
