MALTA, N.Y. >> Once spring returns to the region, movies will not be the only entertainment available at the iconic Malta Drive-in.
Jim O’Connell, owner of JOCO Promotions LLC in Ballston Spa, has negotiated a deal with the drive-in owners to hold a Flea Market there on Saturdays beginning in May.
O’Connell, who is a marketing professional for CapCom Federal Credit Union in Albany, also has a background in antiques and furniture restoration and sales and has been a vendor at antique shows and flea markets throughout the Northeast. His specialty is industrial furniture and he repurposes old pieces into new furniture and accessories. He has been slowly getting back into the business in anticipation of retirement and has been seriously planning to promote a local flea market since 2017.
