Pretty difficult to believe when looking out your window that flea market season is soon upon us. Minnesotans are surely always looking for a bargain and there are many bargain outlets to chose from in Minnesota.

One of the biggest and maybe the best is the Wright County Swapper's Meet in South Haven, just 21 miles south of St Cloud.

According to onlyinyourstate.com, opening date for the Wright County Swapper's Meet is set for April 1st, yes just 3 weeks away, and that is not an April Fools joke. Every Saturday starting April 1st through October you can take advantage of all the great deals. There are extended days on holiday weekends.

For some reason, I've always been a big fan of flea markets. I think it's that it's all not just run of the mill stuff you find in most stores and a lot of the stuff, you just know, probably has some story behind it.

You could probably spend hours walking around this huge flea market and still not see everything it has to offer. Remember, it's kind of an early bird. I believe they open around 5 AM and shut down early in the afternoon.

If you are a collector of just about anything, this might be your go-to place to find pieces for your collection of whatever.

Flea markets are just kind of a fun way to spend a day. Whatever you are looking for, I'm guessing you'll probably find it here at this enormous flea market.

Check it out some Saturday and see what you think. Get there early!
