       There is a VERY large monthly(first Monday weekend) Flea/antique
       meet in a town a little further east of Forney, Tx called
       Canton, Tx and is from what I hear is the largest Flea/antique
       meet in the region, the Wife and I have been there several times
       and have found some good bargains!.....
