The weekend before the first Monday of every month there is a huge flea market in Canton, about an hour east of Dallas on Hwy 20. The flea market called First Monday Trade Days has been in existence since the early 1900s and has grown to the present size of 300 acres ...not a typo, I said 300 acres. "The essential to budget travel is to prepare in advance. When it happens to family trips, globetrotting, well-deserved holidays and/or going to see new destinations we have never been before, the reality of expense and budgeting is always in the back of our heads. Planning and expending our travel budget properly is a main concern for most families. Curbing expending and charges, while still delighting your vacation to its fullest, is the key to confirmed accomplishment and fiscal liability. Your pocketbook and family will thank you! The reasoning behind economizing money while traveling is simple: Even if your personal budget is incredibly tight, you can still take a break and enjoy life! Simply put, life is just too short to never step out of the door or departing the homestead! Also remembering that while traveling, no matter whether on a funds or not, even the smallest of things can all add op to a huge vacation or travel bill!..". It is open from dawn to dusk the Thursday through Sunday BEFORE the first Monday of the month. You can buy everything from tools to wedding dresses.
The flea market is in 3 different sections, all within walking distance or jump on the free trolley and ride to the next area. There is a section called Dog Alley where you can find reputable dog breeders, chickens, llamas, donkeys and cows. I bought my Malti-poo there a year ago. There is the Mill/Moutain where you can find restaurants, hand made goods, winery and wedding dresses. The original section has clothes, crafts, antiques, jewelry, plants .... everything imaginable. Lots of places to eat and don't forget the funnel cake, fresh squeezed lemonade, turkey leg or kettle corn to munch on while you are walking around. They also have motorized carts for rent if you have trouble getting around. Thousands of people attend every month and it can get quite crowded and tough to get around in a cart though. If you will need to rent a cart, I suggest you attend on Thursday or Friday when the crowds are smaller.
Canton also has a winery on Hwy 64 and a zip line across from the First Monday grounds on Hwy 19. There are Bed and Breakfast facilities along with several hotels but they book up early so be sure to make reservations if you decide to stay for the weekend. You will not be able to get through the entire 300 acres in one day. Mill Creek Ranch Resort is a beautiful place on Hwy 19 right off Hwy 20. There are RV spaces, cabin rentals and a lodge. Mill Creek has its own shuttle that transports its guests to and from the flea market. Mill Creek has a small lake with paddle boats and scheduled activities for entertainment.
