Ruptured sewer line floods Hamvention flea market

DAYTON — Shoppers and vendors in a section of a flea market outside Hara Arena were forced to move Saturday when sewage from a ruptured line bubbled to the surface, officials said.

“They had a crew out to clean it up pretty quickly,” said Henry Ruminski, spokesman for Hamvention, an annual gathering of amateur radio enthusiasts. By 3 p.m., trucks were pumping off the sewage and vendors relocated elsewhere in the lot, Ruminski said.
