Despite the triple whammy of heat wave, recession and Carmageddon ll, early-morning attendance at the annual Lions Club flea market on Sunday was pretty good.

Batman was there:

Along with ceramic mermaids:

Stacks of soft cotton textiles:

Amber glass:

Chairs for grown-ups:

And for kids:

Stamped tin tiles:

Surfboards, of course:

That red chest sold almost right away:

A mom from 1953 wants her purse back:

I want my 5th grade bike back:

And everyone wanted little Latigo, one of the guide dogs in training, the true celebrities at the event.
