And a small fair based in New Jersey wrapped up its stay at the Bragg Boulevard Flea Market earlier this week. Most days, having a fair by the front door didn't bring much extra business to Jim's Candy Store, said owner Jim Newsome. Newsome said he sold a lot of drinks and sweets to ride and game operators. But most nights his closing time was just as the rides got going, he said. Still, the Flea Market's manager, Ted Tilson, said he hopes to get the fair back twice before fall, adding it's an exercise in exposure.
People start saying it.
The Flea Market's got a fair. You hear it and hear it again. Then you just know the name. Sure, says Sue Min, everybody's getting all fancy right now. But for some stores, the clock will chime and it's pumpkin time.
