It's an Ada Flea Market holiday program
Posted by Fred Steiner on Wednesday, November 1, 2017

Dan McCrory of Ada Flea Market, 111 N. Main, has a unique idea to promote his business during the holiday season, an idea that can save customers money on their purchases.

He is offering up to 25 percent off on purchases of $20 or more on Thursdays only.

To receive the discount, a customer will throw one dart at the dartboard and whatever percentage number the dart sticks on, that will be the discount. Hit the bullseye and gain another 5 percent off for a total of 25 percent.
