hernesheir Webster, FL - tiny town in Sumter Co., hosts a huge antiques fleamarket every Monday until noon or so. Get there before 5:00 a.m. to get the "good stuff" as it is unloaded from vans, trailers, and RVs. Why Monday? That's the day many antiques dealers take a day off - so the "good stuff" comes to Webster because that's where the serious collectors, dealers and buyers come to connect. Snowbird season, Thanksgiving until about May, is the best time - folks from up north bring antiques south to sell and support themselves during their winter stay. Dec 21, 2010
