h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

The Pevely Flea Market operates year round, but is best in the summer when all of the outdoor stalls are open. In decades past it was a drive-in movie theatre; the flea market has been there for more than 15 years, with at least one of the old screens still standing providing a small bit of shade for a few lucky sellers.

Nearly anything can be found there, from clothing and furniture to fresh produce and novelties... not to mention a fair ammount of junk (where sometimes a real treasure can be found). It is located in Pevely, Missouri, about an hour south of St. Louis on highway 67.

Our last trip yielded an electric iced tea pot (used), two wren houses made from modified tin cans (handmade), a decorative birdhouse made to look like a Las Vegas casino (new), a ceramic green and white swirled ginger jar (handmade), a pair of sunglasses (new), a six-tiered corner shelf (new), a cd of the Brian Setzer Orchestra (used), a few ears of bi-colored corn and a canteloupe (all fresh).
