YaHoo!!!! I'm officially announcing the Second Annual.....
Polka Dot Flea
Saturday and Sunday
June 13-14, 2015
Indoor/airconditioned
Central Florida Fairgrounds
Orlando, Florida
100 booths filled with the "Best of the Best" Vendors selling.....Vintage, Funky, Shabby, Refurbished, Rusty, Antique, Quirky, Repurposed, and Industrial Wares.
Here's the scoop.....I am still reeling from the huge success of the first Polka Dot Flea last June.
The only complaint we heard was "It was too crowded" (Not a bad complaint really)
So.....I knew if there was going to be another Polka Dot Flea it had to be in a larger space with more vendors. Could I do it? Did I want to do it? I knew I couldn't do it alone. My son helped me with the last Flea, would he be willing to do all of the social media, run the actual show, help with staffing and details?
The answer was....YES....YES....And.....YES!!!!
We picked the Central Florida Fairgrounds for the first Polka Dot Flea because....If...Just maybe....The Flea was a success, we wanted the option to move into a bigger space without having to change the location.......So a BIGGER space it will be!
The Polka Dot Flea is moving from 7000 sq ft to 21,000 sq ft!!!
And
From 40 to 100 booths!!!
And
From 1 day to 2 days!!!
I don't have any aspirations to grow the show larger than 100 booths. I want this to be a once a year show that people look forward to, mark their calendars, maybe even plan their Orlando vacations around.....How cool would that be?
The fairground features 600 camping spots with hook ups and a shower building. We had a couple of campers at the last show....
.......And I'm hoping that we can attract a lot more to the beautiful tree lined camping spots on the lake at the fairgrounds

We are not quite ready to accept vendor applications. There is a little more work to do on the website and I want the attorney to do a little tweaking on the contract.....You will be the first to know when the Polka Dot Flea is open for vendor applications.
So there you have it...I'm scared, I'm excited, and possibly.....Just plain crazy!!!!
Happy Creating
