It would have taken a full afternoon to visit all the individual stands at the annual "Fleatique on the Mon." It really has become a huge community event in Monongahela.

Fleatique 013
A popular stop is around the Gazebo in Chess Park

Starting way down in New Eagle and stretching all the way up to Park Avenue, there were, one after another, single-family and multi-family garage, yard and sidewalk sales. There were also stands selling really old items that drew antique collectors.

Even if people had already loaded up on cookies and other baked goods along the way, Chess Park, with its gazebo, was a handy place to take a break and pick up some lunch. There were trailers and stands selling a variety of sandwiches, drinks, and sweet treats.

There may be a repeat of the Fleatique in the fall. Watch "Places to Go" in coming issues of The Messenger.
