BIG FLATS, N.Y. (WENY) --  To kick off a series of showcasing local vendors, The Shoppes at Oldies But Goodies in Big Flats hosted their first community event of the season on Sunday, a flea market and craft fair.

Almost 20 vendors came out to share a variety of products with attendees including food, household items, decor, antiques, furniture, and more.

As people shopped around, they could also get a taste of a local food truck. Plus, guests could pay to try their hand at making their own sweet treats in an Easter cookie decorating class taking place during the market.

"I think we have a tremendous community and there's a lot of people that have tremendous crafts [and] artist ability," said Debbie Rickard, the owner of The Shoppes at Oldies But Goodies. "We have tons of antique dealers that just aren't able to open up a storefront. So we wanted to house these local artisans and get their business out there. Get their, you know, they're wonderful products out there. So we created this space to help the local artists come out and do their thing and we just kind of add to it and we just have a big happy family here and we just love having people come and show their stuff."

For upcoming events this season, Rickard says guests can expect up to 50 local vendors at a time for future events. She adds that the store will host events showcasing more local businesses every second Sunday of the month until October.

The Shoppes at Oldies but Goodies is open all year around Thursdays-Mondays from 10:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M. and is located at 10 Carpenter Road in Big Flats.
