Seattle Parks and Recreation invites the community to a flea market at Ballard Community Center, 6020 28th Ave. N.W., on Saturday, Oct. 3, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

There will be 15 vendors selling a variety of new and/or gently used items. Proceeds from the event will be used to pay for 4-H enrollment fees for low income youth and purchase supplies for the 4-H program.

More than six million youth throughout the United States participate in 4-H, which centers on four-fold learning: head, heart, hands and health.

The program empowers youth to reach their full potential, working and learning in partnership with caring adults. Participants in the Ballard 4-H Club explore nature, the environment, and government; get involved in the community; and develop valuable life skills.
