The Woodlands Spring Flea Market will be held on Saturday, March 26, 2011, from 7 to 10 a.m., in the Town Center Parking Garage. The garage is located at the southwest corner of Six Pines Drive and Lake Robbins Drive, adjacent to The Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion.

Tickets for booth spaces will go on sale Saturday, March 5, 2011, from 8:30 a.m. to noon, near Randall’s Supermarket in the Panther Creek Shopping Center. Any booth tickets remaining after that date will be available at The Woodlands Township Service Center, 2201 Lake Woodlands Drive, directly across the street from The Woodlands United Methodist Church.

The flea market is a cooperative event with all The Woodlands’ villages participating. A small fee is charged to the sellers to defer flea market expenses. There is no fee for buyers. Any proceeds over cost are funneled back into the community in the form of scholarships, grants and other village association projects.

The Woodlands covenants and deed restrictions do not permit garage sales on residential properties. The flea market provides a means for The Woodlands residents to sell unwanted household goods. Bargain hunters who buy pre-owned items keep them out of the landfill and lessen their impact on the environment. Buying “recycled” products also preserves the natural resources that are used in the manufacturing of these items.

For booth space information, please call The Woodlands Township Service Center at 281-210-3800. For general information about the Flea Market, please call 281-210-3976.
