[NTLUG:Discuss] First Saturday

[Hampton Frost]

Just an FYI to all, its on the first Saturday and the third Saturday of each
month, used to be only the first.  The items can range from vacuum cleaners
to laptops (though it does have a focus on computers) and the quality can
range from things you wouldn't spend a dollar on, to overstock un-opened
merchandise.  If your being picky the first Saturday, rather than the third,
might have more/better selection (anyone else know?), some 'seasons' are
better than others, and many venders start to pack up around 12-2.  Always
fun to look around.
