context_section_description: Princeton Flea Market
  Princeton has a flea market on Saturdays from mid-April through mid-October.  Claimed as “Wisconsin’s Largest Weekly Outdoor Flea Market,” admission and parking is free and there is an abundance of great things to eat.  Local service groups and organizations serve snacks, sandwiches and beverages from the historic food stand in center of the Park. Other vendors serve a wide variety of delectable delights including egg rolls, heavenly fresh-made warm donuts and much more. The Information Center is also housed in the food stand.
  Shopping
  Around 2000, Princeton's downtown experienced a "renaissance" where many of the historic buildings were revitalized and became home to artists and creative retailers. In 2008, the downtown core suffered closings and changes but since 2012, an upswing in new businesses and ownership has brought Princeton back to life. Princeton has been cited on some travel sites for its preserved downtown and its destination shopping.

The Muk Luks brand and patents were sold to Reliable of Milwaukee in the 1970s.  Handcraft Co. continued producing socks and hosiery into the late 1990s.
