Rogers Community Auction And Flea Market

Rogers, Ohio has a population of just 194 on most days but that number soars when the Rogers Community Auction and Flea Market opens for business every Friday.

This institution has been going strong since 1955 and is rooted in tradition. You’ll find livestock ready for auction, beautiful produce, and a wide range of wares for sale. They have 1600 vendor spaces including a bunch inside buildings and under pavilions.

There’s also plenty of food including the very best donut I’ve ever eaten. This Amish made yeast donut with a delicate maple glaze represents a core memory from the trip. It would be worth the drive back just for a chance at another.

They even have space for events and live music.

We didn’t make it around to all the vendors but we did our best. Nichola left with several treasures and I left with lots of pictures and memories as well as a couple of treasures.

It’s easy to see why Rogers is a destination for folks who live in Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Wheeling and all points in between. I would go often if I lived closer because it’s just such a fun treasure hunt!

Vixen

Meet Vixen.

This precious little baby was enjoying the view of all the flea market goings on from the privacy of her own stroller.

I met her yesterday along with her parents who were so kind to let me pet her and try to snap a photo. Two things you can’t tell from this photo are that Vixen has stunning green eyes and her fur was unbelievably soft.

What a fabulous life she must have.

We encountered some characters yesterday but none more memorable than this little Vixen!

Peddler’s Junction Vendor Mall

I finally made it into my area’s newest source for treasure hunting yesterday. It’s called Peddler’s Junction Vendor Mall and it recently opened in Lancaster.

This store is fairly large and has over 300 vendor spaces. It’s a nice mixture of things – antiques, vintage, crafts, new decor and some flea market kind of stuff.

Like any vendor mall, the prices are all over the place but I thought they were mainly reasonable.

I was thrilled to find records.

There’s a lot of farmhouse stuff.

Some handmade items.

Lots of antiques too.
