Rogers Community Auction

If Big Lots, your local church and a bunch of stereotypical Hillbillies (not everyone there was one but you get the pic) all got together and made a baby this worthless flea market is it! In fact, it’s not a flea market because markets offer variety, antiques, hand made items not the commercialized crap I saw here! The hour plus long trip was a huge disappointment as I’ve seen better at my local yard sale. Almost every single vendor was offering the same exact junk, even my fair fries & lemonade were terrible.
Unless you live close buy and like to eat tons of fresh fruit and veggies it’s not worth the trip! It was as if Jesus, the confederate flag and the dollar store threw up and then stuck a price tag on it to entice the all «Americans» to flock together in an orgy of Wal-​creatures.
I was hoping to purchase furniture and possibly some local art, you wont find that here. The «antiques» advertised here weren’t actual antiques but reproductions of vintage signs, etc and only one stall actually sold true antiques that were in bad shape. Most of the gypsy like dresses you can find @ Tinkerbox in Ravenna or your local street fair for $ 15.00 to $ 20.00 cheaper. The only worth while purchase was homemade fudge, dog treats and the fresh fruit.

I changed my negative review since they changed the rules about selling animals. Hats off to them.

Wow and wow again. This place is as huge as it gets as far as flea markets go. If you get anywhere near this place and see other people parking and walking. just do the same. It has to be at least 1 square mile of stalls in every direction so parking anywhere is just fine. Make sure you have a hat if its a sunny day.
The amount of people here in the middle of no where Ohio is also crazy. It sort of reminds me of what some of the shopping areas in a huge city might be like. Chances are you will get lost in the miles of booths. If you live very far from this place its at least worth a look. There’s a fairly nice diner on the grounds so you don’t need to do the «fair» food if you don’t want too.
If you come in from Pennsylvania try to avoid route 154, as we came through Rogers it was a major traffic jam as people tried to get through the only light in town. Other wise enjoy the hike around the place.

Wow! That’s what I’m going to say about this place. I’ve heard so many people talk about it and finally got the chance to go and was fully impressed. I’m a total bargain shopper and love flea markets so coming here was right up my alley.
You can literally find anything! From produce, to book, to puppies and vintage signs — they have it all! We were there for almost three hours and I still didn’t get to see everything. I was hoping to find more board games, but we left with some skin are products, fruits, cheese, bean bags for corn hole and dog toys.
Next time I go I want to make sure I get there early enough to see everything. This is a must!

I grew up not far from Rogers. This is a great open air flea market. The «dirt mall» has a little bit of something for everyone. There is a lot to look at and a lot of walking as well so I would recommend good shoes for walking.

If you’ve never been to the «Dirt Mall» you don’t know what you’re missing. Sometimes on Fridays my family and I will drive up here just for lunch. You can find anything & everything here. Also if you have some items you are wanting to unload take them up with you and you’ll prob have no problem selling them to a vendor. On a nice summer day you could spend a few hours just walking up and down the isles. So, if you have a free Friday on a nice Summer day do yourself a favor and go check out Rogers Sale. You’ll be hooked.

This is the Tri-​State Area’s largest open-​air market!
I took a day off work to come here with my parents the day after the Tom Petty concert a week and a half ago (my parents still live in Beaver Falls, PA which is not far from Rogers, OH, and I spent the night at their place), and had a bargain-​hunting blast of a time!
I stocked up on goodies from Amish vendors that included the following homemade items: cranberry cheddar (they make their own cheese!), Mediterranean cheddar, blueberry pie, and cheesecake brownies.
Also gotten for dirt-​cheap (not pun intended) were three supercute dresses, a big sack of potatoes, garlic cloves, and corn cobs.
If and when I ever bring Darren here, he will lose his mind over the food alone. This is so worthy driving out here for. You’ll never know what you’ll come across.

See My many pictures of Junk and Guns, More guns, Guitars and guns.
Amish and Guns, Puppies and Stun guns,
It really takes a long time to see it all, THis was a FRIDAY?
Would expect all of this on a saturday.

You can find just about anything here.

You see I grew up in Rogers and this is what we locals like to call the Roger’s Mall. A lot of people kinda gave you the advice for how to prepare to come, and they were for sure on track with that. All I can say is that this is definitely one of the best open air markets in the tristate area. If you ever get a chance on a Friday, wether you are passing through or actually making a trip out for the day, make sure you go and when you go get yourself a gyro from an old friend of mine, Chuck. Tell him Dave Young sent you. Please take this advice above anyone’s, because this coming from a local… just a good old hay seed plow boy.

Rogers is great, I go all of the time. I’m a regular. This is the place to get your fix for all the crap you need, don’t need, and wish you never saw. It’s a great place to see freaks, wacks and butt cracks.
If your the sissy type that’s afraid of some dirt, or dirty people, stay home. If you like digging through a pile of stuff and hoping to find treasure, come on down!
It’s like everything else, it’s what you make of it. I love it!

I’ve been coming here since I was a kid. And on my recent visit home, I’ve made 2 stops here. I LOVE this market, it’s by far my favourite market on earth. And that’s comparing to European flea markets!
I bought the best ever hat a few weeks ago! I wear this hat everywhere. And bought a few great purses!
But there are heaps of bargains to be had! If your an ebay seller, this is the place for you. Loads of junk that someone would find worthy!
and i’ve found so many odd but interesting people! It’s my favourite way to spend time when i’m stuck visiting the area.

Now, some words of wisdom in the form of DOs and DON’Ts should you decide to brave the year-​round Friday clusterf*ck that is the Rogers flea market.
(1) DON’T wash your vehicle pre-​Rogers as you’ll probably be parking (for free) in a dirt/​mud/​grass/​sand lot, depending on the recent weather.
(2) DO brush up on your bargaining skills.
(3) DO be prepared to walk extensively in the blistering heat or freezing cold.
(4) DO bring lots of bills in various small denominations.
(5) DON’T wear nice or expensive shoes.
(6) DON’T wear nice or expensive clothing.
(7) DO expect traffic, some of the worst you’ll see in the area.
(8) DO be open minded.
(9) DO buy Amish cookies if you’ve never had them before.
(10) DO know that Rogers is a way of life for many people.
So, what do the flea market vendors at Rogers have to offer? «Almost everything» would be the easy answer. During my childhood and through the years I’ve found myself buying the most random things at good ol’ Rogers. Produce and street/​fair food was always a given. When my brother and I were runners we used to hit up a particular vendor who sold (non-​expired) Power Bars and MetRX bars for a quarter each. I (shamefully) bought a few knock-​off Louis Vuitton bags during my high school years when they were all the rage, and when, well, my part-​time job at Pacific Sunwear of California couldn’t afford me the real deal. My brother used to routinely visit a golf vendor who sold medium– to high-​end used clubs for a small fraction of their retail price.
I could go on and on.
The auctions – authentic, fast-​paced, country-​style auctions – are interesting too. They’re scheduled on Fridays as well as other days during the week, while the massive open-​air flea market discussed above is a Friday-​only event.
If you’re visiting the area from out of town and, God bless your heart and soul, decide to make Rogers part of your vacation experience, then do yourself a favor and expect to witness anything and everything during the time you spend on this sacred plot of land. Specifically, the broad range of individuals you’ll see will leave you with dinner table conversation for weeks. The people-​watching aspect of Rogers is an event in itself.

I have been to flea markets all over the place… believe me when I say that this is absolutely the best flea market in the North East! I always come away with bags and bags of goodies. Whether it be a full package of Rolling Stones puffy concert stickers from the 80’s, a folk art tree branch table, c.1850s glass French shoe clips, a picture made out of butterfly wings, Harley Davidson belt buckles from the 70’s, or boxes full of the best vintage clothes… if I died here I’d die happy!
You will walk. You will sweat. You will burn. So, be prepared! Arrive early! And, most importantly, have fun!

As my wife and I refer to it, it’s the «dirt mall’ (insert southern twang) otherwise it’s an enormous flea market. We enjoy going here once in awhile mainly because of the fresh, locally grown produce. The prices are fantastic.
I must warn, be ready to walk. They boast being the largest open air market in the tri-​state area with over 1,600 vendors spread over an area equal to five miles. They also lay claim to receiving over 50,000 visitors a week of which is pretty darn close as it is packed every time we go. The flea market is every Friday from 7:30 AM with no set closing time. You can anything from, pineapples and wallets to sunglasses and baby livestock. It an truly be an all day affair.
They also have several different food vendors that would compare to what you find at a fair or carnival. Mmmmm, fair fries! (Homer Simpson impression) Needless to say, the crowd is very diverse and let’s say, interesting. Parking is very ample (5 acres) but can be a long walk as you may find yourself parking in the back 40. Great experience anyway.
