On Saturday April 27, 2013 VFW Post 12118 of Copperopolis held a flea market to help raise funds for their fledgling post. Much to the excitment of the group, they not only raised funds, they raised community awareness. Apparently many people in the community didn't know of their existence in the town prior to seeing thier sign proudly displayed over their wares.
Though the group has thrown community bbqs, a veteran day parade, spaghetti feeds, flag raising ceremonies and more, it seems that they are still a well kept secret in town and this flea market helped get their name out there.
