Organizers of the Dania (Fla.) Marine Flea Market said this year's event had a record 329 vendors, and the number of attendees was up 6 percent from last year.

Exact attendance figures for the March 18-21 event were not released.

"While we have no way of tracking vendor sales, the overwhelming consensus of vendors with whom I spoke believe this was the best Dania Marine Flea Market ever," said Jennifer Dudas, general manager and vice president of show organizer Al Behrendt Enterprises, in a statement.

Next year's event is scheduled for March 17-20.
