Swap Meet

2017 Report
A wet April provided us with some soft conditions in places on the showgrounds, but overall we had a great swap meet again. Thursday, Friday and Saturday were dry but on the cool side. On Sunday showers were in the area but most vendors had pulled out on Saturday evening with the impending weather forecast for Sunday. The reserved vendor spots proved to work out very well and every one is looking forward to next year.
The Board of Directors would like to thank every one for attending!

Still no selling until Friday morning and spectators are asked to stay away until 8:00 AM on Friday morning, that way the congestion in the parking lot will be down to a minimum.
