Niles Antique Faire/Flea Market seemed to go smoothly

UPDATE: Police say they can’t estimate how many people attended the faire. They said, “thousands.”
I saw the comment from the guy who soured on the Niles Antique Faire/Flea Market after the heavy code enforcement last year. It seemed a lot more mellow this year.
I saw regular folks freely selling lemonade and home-cooked munchies. No one complained to me at all, although this year I wasn’t carrying a notepad and asking people for their thoughts. Life is so much better when you’re not writing things down or soliciting opinions.

Below is my sole purpose purchase. It’s Misha, the official mascot of the 1980 Moscow Summer Games. Only $3.
((UPDATE)) For the record, I corrected the boo-boo in this post more than 24 hours after posting it and exactly three minutes before reading Joe’s very funny comment.

I used to go to the Niles Flea, but it has grown smaller over the years and is the same old same old. I noticed there was no crowd estimate. What was The crowd Estimate?

If a teddy bear is your sole purpose in life, Matt, that explains a lot.
Then again, perhaps you meant that it was your sole *purchase* at the Antique Faire…
