Lion Dave Wickeham began the Manitowish Waters Lions Club Flea, Craft & Farm Market in 2006.  Since then, it has become one of the area's fastest growing events.  Located at the Manitowish Waters Community Center/Airport Grounds adjacent to Hwy. 51, participating vendors have found the event an opportunity to display their wares for area residents and tourists.

Lions Club representatives will be on-site Thursdays during June, July and August (and September weather permitting) at 6 AM to facilitate early setup.  Most sites are first come-first serve although sites may be reserved either seasonally, monthly or for the next week.  Sites available for the day are marked with a numbered sign.  The Grounds Supervisor will assist vendors with identifying a daily site to use.  All sites are 14 foot wide and are priced at $10 daily.  Vendors are expected to remain set up until at least 2:30 PM each Thursday.  Mark Suckow is the contact for further information at 715-476-2959.  A full set of govering Guidelines and Rules are available at the market.
