On Saturday, some of the group drove north of New Market on Rt 11 to a Shenandoah Valley Flea Market http://shenandoahflea.nova-antiques.com/ where some FREE luau clothing was gotten.  How lucky!  We stopped for lunch at the Southern Kitchen there in New Market and found others there from the group.  It is known for its peanut soup, fried chicken and pies.  It is up for SALE.
