The annual Lake Junaluska Flea Market will take place from 8 a.m.-noon Saturday, June 14, at the open-air Nanci Weldon Memorial Gym at Lake Junaluska. Special early bird shopping is available from 7:30-8 a.m. for $5 cash.
Judy LaFountaine, co-chair of the flea market, said this year’s event will feature several antiques and solid wood doors, in addition to plants, linens, books, tools, yard equipment, furniture, holiday decorations, small electrical appliances, kitchenware, toys, a ladies’ boutique, games, sporting and camping goods, homemade baked goods and more.
“The beauty of this flea market is the useful and unique items you can find, whether you need to furnish an apartment or are remodeling or just need a little something new to freshen up your house,” she said. “It’s fun and family-friendly because there is so much to see and there’s always something for everyone.”
The flea market is hosted by The Junaluskans, a volunteer organization of Lake Junaluska Assembly made up of people who love Lake Junaluska. The annual flea market is The Junaluskans’ largest fundraising event of the year. “We are always so thankful for community support for our flea market and always look forward to sharing in the fun and fellowship with everyone who comes by,” LaFountaine said.
Proceeds from the flea market support many projects, including maintenance of Lake Junaluska gardens such as the Rose Walk, Corneille Bryan Native Garden, Biblical Garden and Inspiration Point; the Swan Feeding Program; the Community Chorus; Christmas decorations at the lake; Lake Junaluska cleanup programs; sponsorship of Clothes to Kids; and the monthly book review program.
For the comfort and safety of all shoppers, no dogs are allowed at the flea market except for official service animals.
