2014 REPORT: After the cold, snowy, windy winter of '13/'14 the spring kept right on going with moisture. We had some heavy rains the week before the swap meet and it rained all day on Thurs. when the vendors were let into the grounds. Some vendors needed pulling to get into the grounds and some need more assistance to get into their selling position. Fri. was perfect, sunny with temps in the mid 60's, near record crowds. Saturday was windy and cooler but no rain till later Sat. evening. Sunday was an all day rain again and the last vendors pulled out as soon as they could. The number of vendors were about the same as 1913, down slightly due to the weather.

The Board of Directors would like to thank every one for attending!

No roping off of empty spots in vendor staging area to hold for a vehicle in event of "drop and go", bring another vehicle to return home but leave truck hooked to trailer.

No laying out of items and selling in staging area (vendor parking lot).

Please be at your vehicle by at least 10 AM Thursday morning. We will leave vendors in until it gets dark and then shut the gates, and then open again at 6:00 AM Friday morning. 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.

2015 Vendor prices are as follows:
$50 Charge for outside space, if you need an oversize space, please consider paying double.

$60 For inside space, paid in advance with registration. Inside spots sell out every year, so best is to check with Nancy if any are available.
