text: While we can only aspire to have anything like the state market in Raleigh the Charlotte Regional market is pretty sweet at least compared to most of the others around the QCnnYou definitely want to check it out on a Saturday early on a Saturday if possible because that is when the most vendors are there and you get the true vibe of the place Sure you can drive by on a Tuesday afternoon to see how large the spread is but what is the fun in thatnnWhile more and more vendors are taking cards these days you will want cash for the best deals If you want to be daring wait until noon ish and see what sort of deals there are namely from some of your fringe vendors who do not want to pack things up and just want to unload their product cheaply You can get some great deals Of course they might be empty by then too so it is a dangerous game to play
