Concessionaires Hopeful as Norwalk Poppy Festival Recovers
The 1976 Norwalk Poppy Festival ended with a $1,300 profit after a $2,000 loss the prior year. Concessionaires largely fared well, helped by local merchants, while a flea market maker cited promotion gaps. Some out-of-town vendors paid $100, locals $50 for space and nine flea stalls sold at ten dollars each.
