Playland: Fun, Sun And A Flea Market

Westchester County park in Rye offers some unique shopping.

Fun, sun and stuff to buy on the boardwalk. That was Saturday at Playland in Rye.

Rye Playland teamed up with East Coast Vendor Events to introduce a flea market and craft fair. 

"We have everyone coming out from all over the tri-state area and beyond selling all sorts of great merchandise," said Elysa Klaus an event organizer.

The free event was on the boardwalk by the beach and fountain plaza. There were multiple vendors selling items such as clothing, candles, housewares and more. This is the first time East Coast Vendor Events has come to Playland.

"I've done this for many years, but this is my first year at (Rye) Playland. We're hoping it'll be a great sucess and continue it in the future here. We (normally) do a lot of indoor events, at hotels around Westchester County," said Klaus. "Playland has been around 85 years. There are tons of people coming and we're trying to help them bring in revenue, you know, one hand washing the other. We'll help them and they'll help us and everybody's happy."
