Stanton ready for Trade Days
Wednesday, 11 June 2008

Shoppers of every shape and size will make their way to Stanton this weekend, as the Old Sorehead Trade Days prepare to get under way for the second time this year.

Set for Saturday and Sunday in the Martin County seat, the trade days — which happen each year during April, June and October — feature vendors from all over the region, selling just about everything under the sun, according to longtime event spokesman Bud Lindsey.

“Scattered around the town, a visitor may find just about anything from trash to rare collectibles,” said Lindsey. “We’ll have antiques for sale in the Antiques on Main store and throughout the trade days — Coca-Cola collectibles, Humble Oil and Sinclair Oil signs, wagon wheels — if you can dream of it, it’s most likely at Old Sorehead Trade Days.”

According to Lindsey, one of the largest draws for the event is the food.

“Many visitors come to the trade days just to sample the dishes the food vendors have to offer,” said Lindsey. “All kinds of food are available. Curly fries, funnel cakes, turkey legs, roasted corn, seafood and Mexican food. There are all kinds of soft drinks and bottled waters in the food court areas.”

 Trade days will feature two “food court” areas for visitors to check out. The first will be located by the single traffic light near First National Bank and Stanton Drug, with a second area near the Stanton Community Center.

For those that aren’t familiar with the streets of Stanton, trade days volunteers will be on duty to help direct visitors to the different areas, including parking areas for the handicapped and overflow parking. Golf carts will also be available to help get shoppers to and from their vehicles.

Lindsey said those wanting to take in the entire affair may want plan on spending quite a bit of time in Stanton.

“If you want to see everything at the Old Sorehead Trade Days, you need to plan to come early and stay late,” he said. “Admission is free and anyone who needs information on the event can call our trade days hotline at (432) 756-2006, or visit us on the Web at www.stantontex.com.”

Old Sorehead Trade Days will begin at 9 a.m. on Saturday and continue until 7 p.m., and resume on Sunday from noon until 5 p.m.
