From May to December, the parking lot of James Logan High will be transformed every Sunday into a flea market for a new reality show titled “Flea Market Wars.”

Starting Sunday, May 6th, a production crew will be filming from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. This will continue every Sunday through the rest of this year. With only filming once a week, it will take a month to complete a single episode. The executive producer Mike Gouvea hand picked the Union City location himself. He is renting the space from the New Haven Unified School District to put on this new reality show.

“Flea Market Wars” has semblance to A&E’s “Storage Wars,” but with several differences. Every Sunday, a different celebrity guest will attend the flea market who will pick an item under $20 from five different vendors. Those purchases will then be appraised of their value at the end of each episode. At the end of the season, the celebrity guest who made the most profit from their purchases will receive $50,000 to be given to any charity. Also, the top five vendors who sold the items of most value will receive $50,000 to split among the five vendors.

Some of the producer’s plans are to donate the proceeds to New Haven Unified School District and to help struggling local schools as they face nearly $11 million in budget cuts. One of the goals for the show is to have the community get involved in the process and encourage residents to vend and shop at the weekly flea markets. The flea market is open to the public with vending spaces selling for approximately $30 per space.
