The town of Hillsville, VA will welcome upwards of 650,000 visitors this weekend for the 45th annual flea market and gun show sponsored by the local VFW.
With snacks, a picnic lunch and plenty of bottled water, Wendy and I picked Becky up at 6:30 a.m. As we drove through the fog on I-77 just north of Mount Airy, we were treated to some gorgeous views.
So what was I looking for? This year, absolutely nothing...really, absolutely nothing. I found three sets of slides for my View-Master and that was the sum total of my purchases!
As the morning wore on, my feet and hips wore out. The temperatures were climbing up near 90 degrees and I had to admit that I just couldn't "do" Hillsville like I used to. |
