There are so many things to do during the winter here in South Florida, and while water sports always attract a great gathering, there is nothing that brings in people like the thrill of a bargain. At the Mardi Gras Flea Market is Hallandale Beach, every weekend finds shoppers, pouring in from all over the pick up that some special - at low, low prices. Have you been, yet?

THE THRILL OF THE BARGAIN
Larry Blustein
One of my favorite places to hang out on a weekend is at the
Mardi Gras Flea Market in Hallandale Beach. It is truly one of those destinations that many overlook.
It's a place where I feel like I can get a great deal - with little cash. No matter if you are
searching for a battery for your watch, some jewelry, fresh fruit and vegetables or a set of golf clubs, this is really one of those places that has it all. Visiting the flea market throughout the
year, this is really the best time to go. The weather is cooler and the parcel of land along U.S. 1, south of Pembroke Road is jumping with customers on any Saturday or Sunday from
early in the morning until 3 in the afternoon, and there is no telling what you will find. As much as it has become a yearly ritual –––––––––––––––––––– BLUSTEIN, Page 11A
