Jazz Fest Trip - Day 8

Despite our best intentions, we didn't leave the RV park for the flea market until about 9:30 am. 
We drove the VW over to a parking area near one of the market gates and explored areas we missed yesterday.  We saw a lot of the same stuff, but did see a few interesting things along the way.  We haven't made any big purchases and have successfully resisted the urge to buy the buffalo head or some WW II ammo cans and deactivated (we assume) hand grenades.













After lunch on the grounds we felt we had seen as much as we wanted to (almost all of it) and decided to visit one of the peripheral, yet associated, trade fair venues nearby.  The area was definitely the "minor leagues" of local flea market activity and we didn't see anything there we had not already seen at the larger venue.




We did visit "Dog Alley" however.  This is a nearby trade fair area of town that deals in the buying and selling of animals - mostly puppies but there were also birds, chickens, rabbits and other small animals.  There were also some really low-end flea market vendors and not-so-clean-looking food booths.








Our flea market fun meter finally pegged out around 3:00 pm and after a short trip to the grocery store, we returned to the RV to get ready for an early morning departure and a long drive to Meridian, MS,  our next stop on the journey.
