Today was the season finale for 2012 Mower's Saturday Sunday fleamarket. What an amazing day! There were four different weather predictions for today and it looks like we had a little bit of each one. Our vendors set up on the field this morning with frosty but sunny anticipation. As the day rolled along and visitors began to stroll around Woodstock on Small Business Saturday, clouds and wind brought flurries and a seasonal chill. The view of Overlook Mt from Maple Lane included dark snow filled skies with patches of sunny blue showing through. Thank you everyone for a great season. We are all grateful for your support. The fleamarket will open in 2013 on or about May 18th. We can be reached at woodstockfleamarket@hvc.rr.com or 845-679-6744.

A happy day at Mower's fleamarket

Today was the best kind of day at the fleamarket in Woodstock. Yesterdays rain had everyone's expectations for a busy weekend dampened by a tepid forecast. To be an outdoor vendor, hope springs eternal. Everyone was greeted with a cloudless bright sunny day- the streets and sidewalks of Woodstock are packed with people drinking in the beautiful fall weather and color. John Mower doesn't mind for one minute that he hasn't won a chess game yet. We plan to be open thru Thanksgiving weekend- weather provided

Woodstockers of the not to distant past used to have an old saying... after Labor Day, you could roll a bowling ball down Mill Hill Road and never hit a car. Though things in the 21st century slow down a little bit once all the kids are back to school, we don't slow down to the snails pace of the 1945's and 1950's. Woodstock Ny has become a year round weekend getaway destination. Our fleamarket will be open thru the Thanksgiving weekend, weather providing of course! Our trusty answering machine at 845-679-6744 will have the most up to date information about our schedule. Also, our facebook page has regular up dates. We are looking forward to some beautiful country weather this fall season. Our vendors are changing over their merchandise and we welcome the new vendors who are exploring the Mower's fleamarket experience.

Saturday Market Fairs on the Village Green

" The Saturday Market Fairs remained part of the morning ritual on the village green for almost 20 years. Table sellers, as they were known, who displayed their items for sale , would fold up their tables and store them for the week in an area behind the Woodstock Village Inn. ( a.k.a. FreeStyle Realty Building) At some point in the 1940's Mrs. Mary Terwilliger, a member of Christ's Lutheran Church began managing the Saturday Market Fairs. Shortly after, members of the Dutch Reformed Church decided that the village green was no longer to be used for the popular Saturday fairs." Excerpt from American Tapestry, the Mowers of Maple Lane by Janine Fallon Mower, 2007.

Woodstock has the distinction of having an outdoor Saturday Market for over 90 years

" As the year 1917 came to a close, all attention in Woodstock and the world turned to what became known as the war to end all wars. Ethel Peets, a member of the Woodstock Club, developed the idea of holding a street fair, similar to those in Europe, in the center of the village. Her aim was to raise money for the Red Cross. She enlisted the help of another club member, Marion Eames, and they set about gathering a group of volunteer workers to run the street fair. The first market fair was held on a Saturday morning in 1918, on the village green, opposite the Dutch Reformed Church. It was managed by Ethel Peets and Mrs. Chase, mother of Rhoda Chase." Excerpt from American Tapestry, the Mower's of Maple Lane. Janine Fallon Mower 2007

Rainy season

June 2012 weather is proving to be quite a challenge this year. We are an all out door market, therefore our vendors and our customers are challenged when Mother Nature decides that our region needs to have more rain on the weekends. Over the years, we have been blessed with a dozen or so vendors who have a very high tolerance for rainy forecasts. As we all have learned, the weather person isn't always spot on with their forecast. We are open today, June 9th and hope to be open tomorrow as well. The Woodstock Fire Co # 1 has their annual car show scheduled for Sunday June 10. The fire company has a facebook page and more detailed info about the car show can be found there.
