LIONS FLEA MARKET & ABC TAG SALE

Saturday, June 21. The Madison Lions Club will hold its 36th annual Flea Market with the Lions Home Baked Goods & the ABC Tag Sale on the Historic Madison Green, from 9:00am to 3:00pm. Admission is free.

One of the largest events of its kind on the shoreline combines a huge flea market with more than 130 vendors, an offering of goods baked by spouses of the Lions and some great deals under our tent of tagged merchandise.   Art Work (prints & cards) by esteemed local artists will be on display and available. Lions are pleased to be joined for the fourth year by the famous ABC Tag & Bike Sale. Food and beverages will be available during the day.

The resulting donations from this event will be used to support The Madison Lions Club in contributing to numerous local and state-wide community projects such as eye research, eye care and eyeglasses for the needy, Oak Hill Services for the Blind and Disabled, 17 annual scholarships at Daniel Hand High School, a large print book collection at the Scranton Library, Madison Community Services, Boy and Girl Scout programs, Madison youth sports, Big Brothers and Big Sisters, and many more.

Flea market vendors are welcomed to the Green and are encouraged to register early. Vendor spaces are available by mailing a $30.00 check one week before the event, ($35.00 thereafter) payable to the Madison Lions Foundation at 23 Jefferson Park Road, Madison, CT, 06443. Inquiries about vendor spaces may be made at 203-245-4485, or at 245-9413.
