Stars and Stripes Europe soaked up the sun at the Kaiserslautern High School Flea Market over the weekend! The Flea Market was organized by the JR ROTC cadets as a fundraiser. We were joined by different people selling all varieties of goodies like 220v appliances, Funko Pop collectibles, beer steins, furniture, clothes, handcrafted items and so much more!

The flea market was set up outside Kaiserslautern High School and each person who signed up had a parking spot to set up their items.

In addition to all the fun treasures, the cadets sold hot dogs, burgers and brats to all the hungry attendees. We enjoyed a delicious combo meal of a brat, chips and a drink. A couple of booths sold delicious baked goods like Oreo cupcakes, chocolate chip cookies and cheesecake brownies. We couldn’t help but take some home to enjoy later!
