Fidelis Flea Market on Saturday, Feb. 11 at West Sound Community Hall

The Fidelis Circle Women’s group will offer its third annual Fidelis Flea Market on Saturday, Feb. 11, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the West Sound Community Hall on Deer Harbor Rd. "This event has become much anticipated, both from vendors and shoppers alike," say organizers. "There will be a great variety of items for sale, some old, some new, some borrowed (well, maybe not), some blue. Look also for hand crafted goods, yummy baked goods and that something one always looks for at flea markets. Larger items will be advertised on the Flea Market bulletin board."

Christina Orchid will offer a creative, delicious lunch for hungry shoppers again this year.

Proceeds from the table rental and Orchid’s lunch will support the annual Graduation Recognition Awards the Fidelis group gives out to graduating seniors living in the West Sound area.

The Fidelis Circle, originally called The Mothers’ Club, was founded in December of 1915. The object of the club was “the betterment and benefit of the school, to bring us closer together, in a common interest.” The members meant the “new” West Sound school, which is now a private home. Their efforts went toward understanding the school laws and practices, buying a heating furnace, and providing new school desks.

Flea Market organizers say they hope to see the whole island between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. on the 11th, saying, “No early birds!”
