Daylight Savings ends this day…so TURN YOUR CLOCK BACK (or be late!). Wear a ‘good costume’ for a $10.00 rebate!. Spaces are a paltry $20.00 (only $10 if your costume is a winner!) for sellers. Free admission for buyers. Park where you wish to sell. There is plenty of free parking under the large ‘vintage’ carousel sign for the Cambrian Plaza Mall. Physical address for an internet map is: 14450 Union Ave. San Jose, CA
