Attention Collectors: How about making some room for more collections? In the spring, everyone in Sequim gets the flea market bug. You can capitalize on this by renting a table at the oldest antique and collectable sale on the Olympic Peninsula, the annual Elegant Flea Antique & Collectibles Sale, held April 2 & 3, 2010, at the Sequim Prairie Grange. Tables are only $50 for 2 days. Join with a friend and both of you can share the cost! Call (360) 681-2257 to reserve your table now.
