The Mower's of Maple Lane

The Mower fleamarket is held each Saturday May- November on a two acre grassy field in the center of Woodstock. It is were John and his family grew up. In 2007 we celebrated the ownership of the property- for 100 years. The history of the flea market and the Mower family is written about in the new book, American Tapestry, the Mowers of Maple Lane by
Janine Fallon Mower. Contact her at lifesjourney@hvc.rr.com to obtain a copy.

Welcome 2009

We are celebrating our 35th New Years eve together at the Little Bear Restaurant in Bearsville NY.
Marlee has a great following, she presides over a space that includes good food, stimulating conversation and general all around fun!
John and I spent the early evening hours checking coats for the attendees of the Family New Years Eve event at the Bearsville theatre.
We spent the later part of the evening waiting for Capt Kenievel to jump the volcano at the La Mirage in VEgas.
To pass the time, we unraveled yarn that was in a very tangled mess. We decided this activity was evidence of the patience we have both developed over the course of our lives together thus far.

We can't wait to begin the planning process for the 2009 Mower's Saturday Flea market Season
