The Cleveland County Fairgrounds in Norman, Okla. hosts a flea market and estate sales every weekend during the summer. This past weekend was filled with events for Norman residents to enjoy. The flea market, the farm market, which is held every Wednesday and Saturday morning, and an estate sale put on by the Cathouse estate sale company were all out in full force this Saturday.
Cleveland County Fairgrounds representative Sharon Harrell said that they estimate that between one and two thousand people came through the fairgrounds this past Saturday. Everything was offered, antiques, jewelry, vintage clothes, flowers and locally grown foods, furniture, just about anything was being sold at affordable prices.
“We know there’s thousands, but we don’t know how many exactly, since it’s free admission, but it was jam packed.” Harrell.
The fairgrounds puts on events from livestock shows and the annual Cleveland County fair every year. And the estate sales and flea market are held every week in addition to the other special events.
Dick Ross is the coordinator for the flea market at the fairgrounds.
“We just like to keep it going,” Ross said. “Most of us are retired folks. We keep it going every month, unless they have something else going on, we’ll stay over another weekend.”
John Rogers is the coordinator for the estate sales and the owner of Cathouse Antiques and Estate Sales.
“At the sale last week we probably had a total of 400 or more people, between 400 and 500 at least, business was good,” Rogers said.
The Cleveland County Fairgrounds has a lot to offer Norman residents. Not only can it entertain and be a source for local produce, it can also offer affordable items and can be a great source for vintage finds and antiques. Among these events that are held each week, the fairgrounds will have many more upcoming events this summer. There will be a quilt show in July and the Cleveland County Fair will be held in September. To keep up with the full calendar of events visit clevelandcountyfair.org.
