Paris is about 20 minutes east of Woodstock. They are having an automotive flea market on Sunday. Here's the scoop from the ad in Old Autos:

31st Automotive Flea Market. Paris fairgrounds, two buildings and outdoors for vendors. 9am-3pm. Spectator admission $3.00.

It's usually pretty good. Not as big as Ancaster but still a decent way to fight cabin fever.
I'm going to try to be there by 9:30. Look for this god-ugly S10 in the parking lot (has a topper on it for winter). It's my parts chaser:

The topper is black. It's a BIT better than when I got it 4 months ago:

I won't be in the truck but then again maybe I should put a for sale sign on it and hang around it biggrin

It's got TONS of power with that 2.5 "Iron Duke"
I got it cheap with literally a garage loft full of spare parts- including everything needed to swap to small block (and I mean everything including engine, 2 transmission, dual cat exhaust, mounts, rad, etc etc) I figure I'll just drive the darn thing. Other than the pukey colour, it's a good solid truck (after I fixed the box rot). Under 200k. I had to break up that colour. That's where my trusty can of Tremclad semi gloss black came in handy...

The flea market was pretty good. Lots of shop and parts books for Beaumont and Acadians and our big Pontiacs. I picked up a shop manual for the Corvair for $20. Pretty good deal. It was very busy. Everyone must have cabin fever! There was one poor vendor outside. I felt bad for him. When we walked out of the flea market it was a complete white out. I parked a fair distance from the building and I felt like you westerners with the -28 wind chill. Dumb me didn't have a hat so if anyone finds a pair of ears laying on the parking lot of the Paris Fairgrounds, they belong to me.
