Böckingen: Flea market with heart – prices as desired and good deeds!
Bönnigheim celebrates creative markets: from flea markets for Vietnam aid to solidarity events for Palestine.
Böckingen: Flea market with heart – prices as desired and good deeds!
Last weekend, an exciting flea market took place in Böckingen, which not only offered a wide range of goods, but also implemented a special form of sales strategy. A saleswoman had decided to offer her goods for just ten euros because her sales were not the priority. Their goal was to delight people with cheap offers, which attracted many visitors. The market also featured various booths with special content, including a booth that promoted support for disabled veterans and children in Vietnam.
The “Village of Friendship Vietnam” stand, run by Rosemarie Höhn-Mizo, offered books, classic CDs and cooking pots. The proceeds from this sale will be donated to Vietnam, highlighting the stand's social responsibility. A notable detail was that there was also a Palestine flag at the stand in Denkendorfstrasse/Hauptstrasse, which conveyed a special symbolic presence. Interestingly, there were no fixed prices at the flea market; Instead, interested parties were asked what they were willing to bid for the items on offer.
Visit from committed residents
The couple Angelika and Roland Klett were among the visitors. They were looking for new impressions because they already have a lot of things at home. Your visit shows the residents' interest in local events that serve not only leisure activities but also a good cause.
An unexpected highlight was a caravan that was not part of the flea market. The owner wanted to present it to a wide audience, which attracted additional attention.
Future outlook for the soli flea market
An upcoming event, the solidarity flea market for the repressive costs of the Palestine struggles, is also on the agenda. It will take place on Sunday, May 26, 2024, from 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. in the Infoladen at Schererstrasse 8. This program allows participants to bring items in good condition such as clothing, children's items and books. The proceeds will be used entirely to cover the repression costs of the Palestine struggles.
In addition, a pleasant atmosphere is ensured by providing snacks, cakes and cool drinks. Donation recommendations for sorting the items are offered at several tables, making the flea market not only a place for sales, but also a space of community and solidarity.
Overall, the success of the Böckingen flea market shows how local events can serve as a platform for social causes while strengthening a sense of community. The combination of affordable offers and solidarity support is a step in the right direction for the residents.
