The Hawk Eye
WEST BURLINGTON One Sunday a month, summer crowds drove a well-worn path to the West Burlington Flea Market at Southeastern Community College, where market owner Bob McCullough sold polished gold and silver pawn shop jewelry, surrounded by used lawnmowers, antique housewares, rusty farm tools, plants, and geese, before it became a COVID-19 casualty in 2020.
Starting this Sunday, flea market enthusiasts can take a nearby route to the old J.C. Penney parking lot at Westland Mall, where a monthly indoor vendor show is moving outside for the season.
Hours for the Westland Mall Flea Market and Food Truck Frenzy are 7 a.m. to 3 p.m., rain or shine.

The former library inside Corse Elementary is stripped bare, its concrete floors exposed and some walls reduced to frames. But come August, it will be filled with tiny furniture, books, toys and bright colors.
That s when 1-, 2-, and 4-year-olds enrolled at the Corse Early Childhood Center will gather on weekdays as early as 6:30 a.m. until as late as 6 p.m. A lot of our construction work is down this hallway, because this is where a majority of the child care rooms are, Corse Principal Bryan Baker said on a recent walk-through of the building. To try to maximize this space, we decided to just put 4s, 1s and 2s in here, and then 3s are close to their 3-year-old classrooms.
Great Tastes is moving to fall
The show must go on. Futures are riding on it.
That s why canceling the Southeastern Community College Foundation s annual Great Tastes fundraiser for student scholarships was not an option in 2020 when COVID-19 abruptly put an end to in-person gatherings. And so, the Foundation had a week-long virtual party and online auction.
While Great Tastes will be live this year, another change is coming.
The traditional spring event is moving to the fall.
Great Tastes will start at 6 p.m. Friday, Nov. 5, at Pzazz Event Center, stepping into a venerable spot on the calendar formerly occupied for decades by Burlington Fine Arts League Gala, which took its final bow in 2019.
