THE WOODLANDS, Texas -- The Woodlands Fall Flea Market will be held on Saturday, September 17, 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, adjacent to The Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion.

Tickets for booth spaces for sellers will go on sale Saturday, August 27, 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, located at 2201 Lake Woodlands Drive (directly across the street from The Woodlands United Methodist Church), Monday – Friday 8:30 a.m. – 5:30 p.m., excluding Labor Day.

The flea market is a cooperative event with all The Woodlands’ villages participating. The fees for sellers are $50 per booth space, $100 for a vehicle and trailer. 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 Larry Faith at 281 681-0036. For general information, please call the flea market information line at 281 210-3976 or Pamela Woods at 281 210-3900.
