Sunday morning, I drug myself out of bed early to go to Williams Grove.
The former amusement park and picnic grounds in Cumberland County's rural Monroe Township closed down a few years back, but the place has found new life with a weekend flea market in a beautiful setting.
I got more peaches than I can eat in a week for $1.50, a bunch of homegrown tomatoes for a dollar and a beautiful green pepper for less than 50 cents. You'll also find vendors selling yard-sale-type items, antiques, plants and more amid the remnants of rides.
Williams Grove is also the site of the annual Grangers steam-engine festival, set for this weekend. I've never been to it, but I'll probably go -- if nothing else than to watch my 14-month-old niece ride on the trains she's obsessed with.
And to get more peaches before summer's over!
