I found over a half dozen websites devoted to 1st Monday. Here are two of them.
1st Monday
First Monday Canton
I never noticed how many scooters are rented. They were everywhere yesterday. It reminded me of the Seinfeld episode where a gang of elderly people on scooters chases George down the sidewalk.
This is one of the many covered pavilions for vendors and shoppers.
This place is called dog alley. Here you can find everything from small ducks and chicks to ponys and mules.
Maybe I will post a few more tomorrow.

These flea markets are fun. We were just talking about the local version of this. We are planning on picking up some treasures this month.
LOL about Seinfeld. :)
I have quite a few online friends who "antique" a lot, and they frequently mention Canton. (I'm jealous! ;)
I know a woman who used to go to this event regulary. I used to work with her on the weekends at an antique mall. She loved going there and spent money, too, then brought back all sorts of neat stuff to sell at her booth in the mall.
Looks like great fun especially on a nice spring day! Scottsboro, Al which isn't that far from us has a first Monday Trade Day that I've been wanting to go to for ages.
Thanks for visiting my blog! I live about 20 miles from Dallas, Ga.
That's funny about the scooters, Jim. :)
nice series looks like a bright sunshine-y day...
Hey Jim, we have a friend in Texas and he's been telling us about this place.
Thanks for the links and the pictures...Very interesting.
But where are the fleas?!?!
That's quite a place. Shirt sleeve weather too. Lucky! MB
It looks like a popular spot.
Did you ever see a tiny fly hanging on the edge of a honey bee's wing?
Abraham Lincoln in Brookville, Ohio had a picture of one that he took.
Around this neck of the woods, we'd call that a big Flea Market.
