The Silver State Market Place began last October as a swap meet every third weekend of each month. Hours of operation will remain at 7 a.m. to 3 p.m.

General admission is $1 for ages 13 and above. Children 12 and under and parking are free.

Vendor space fees are $15 for reserved and $10 for non-reserved spaces.
