... About Us ...

For those of you who may not know us, we are dealers, ourselves, in addition to being the former publishers of the ‘Fair Times Newspaper’ (est. 1979); "The Voice for Independent Dealers in the Fair and Special Events Industry." It was a national trade paper considered by some to be the “bible” of the industry for our monthly calendars of events as well as for our advertisers, some of the best suppliers of merchandise for the trade! In 1993, when we sold the newspaper, it was the leading publications for the vending and concessionaire business in the country. We initiated many industry trends during our publishing years. We sold (the newspaper) our publications to follow other pursuits which included penning several flea market and antique mall directories which were sold in mainstream book stores.

Having never wavered from our commitment to the Fair, Flea Market and Special Events world we are now focusing our energy on the Internet to carry our message to independent dealers and concessionaires.

Our website is undergoing a professional re-design which coincides with our renewed pledge of being the #1 industry information service and leading vendor site on the web. In addition, we are working with an internet service to improve our search engine placement. We hope to make it an informative and fun place for dealers to visit.

If you are a re-seller in the flea market, antiques or collectibles field or sell at craft fairs, state or county fairs & festivals, at online auctions or home-based or e-commerce related efforts, then our ALL NEW – National Calendar of Events website is for you!

If you are trying to reach any of these businesses: flea market dealers, fair & festival concessionaires and vendors, antique dealers, online auction sellers, crafters, suppliers to the fair/show industry, flea market owners and operators, show promoters, talent and acts, etcetera – then we think you will find advertising with us to be very profitable.

Looking forward to working with you!
