Nautical Flea Market Set for Sept. 16-17
The Grand Lake Sail and Power Squadron is sponsoring a Nautical Flea Market in support of its efforts to provide free safe boating courses to boaters in the Grand Lake area. The flea market will be held September 16 – 17 at Pelican Landing Resort, northeast of Ketchum, OK.
The idea of having a nautical flea market in this area is the result of efforts by a local Power Squadron member who was impressed by a similar one in the Florida Keys. The “Gigantic Nautical Flea Market” is an annual event there. It brings individuals and vendors together with boaters from all over Florida and several neighboring states to buy and sell boats, marine equipment, nautical arts & crafts, and other new and used boating stuff.
While many local marinas and commercial vendors have already signed up for booth spaces, there is still plenty of room for private individuals to sign up for space to sell new and used nautical items. A 12X12 space is $30 and a 12X24 space is $50 for this two day event.
Remember, if you sell your boat at the end of summer, you can save the expense of having it winterized or stored until next spring. Multiple spaces are available for people with large or a lot of items; or an individual with just a few items might choose to share a space with someone else. Proceeds from the sale of items goes to the people who rent the spaces. Space rental proceeds go to the Power Squadron to help fund its educational programs.
The GLSPS is anticipating an increase in demand for its BoatSmart course due to the enactment of the “Kyle Williams Boating Safety Education Act”. This new law, which was signed by Governor Brad Henry on June 6, 2006, takes effect January 1, 2007. It requires a person less than 16 years of age to complete a boating safety educational course and an examination before they can operate most motorized vessels and larger sailboats. The Power Squadron is able to offer its BoatSmart course to boaters free of charge through the success of fundraisers such as the Nautical Flea Market.
The Nautical Flea Market will be open on Saturday, Sept. 16, from 8am-5pm, and on Sunday, Sept. 17, from 10am-4pm. For information about the flea market or space rentals call Bill Skea at: 918-786-4488 or e‑mail to: vermaireskea@charter.net.
