I'll be there in the swap area. Look for a bright red GMC pickup with matching red cap. Will have mostly flathead stuff including two engines. My '39 Coupe still spread out in the garage and the basement. Supposed to be pretty cool this weekend...bring your jacket.

[Petejoe]

I guess its southeast of Cincinati. And its being held at the fairground there. I have never been there. But also heard good things about it. Here's a website on it. BIG PUMPKIN (http://www.pumpkinrunnationals.com)

Location is just east of Cincinnati, take I-275 around to the east side and exit at US Rt 50 (Hillsboro/Milford exit). When you come off the exit you come to a light at 50. Turn right to go east....follow 50 about 10 miles or so until you come into Owensville. Then you'll come to the end of a line of brake lights and plenty of officials to help direct you. There's a church on 132 (turn left off 50) that parks ya for a donation and it's right across the street from the walk-in entrance. Plus plenty of folks who live around there will take your $5 to park in their front yard.

I may leave my truck in a parking area to leave space in my swap spot for a canopy. Bought a little heater to keep the chill off. Stop by and ask for "Mac"

First day (Friday) was pretty nice. The swap area is filling up fast. Some pretty decent project cars sitting on trailers waiting for butyers. I saw two halfway decent '40 Ford Deluxe Tudors. Tomorrow and Sunday will be the big days. Sold my 59A flathead engine today, and I think I may have the '39 flattie sold. Haven't even had a chance to walk the car field yet!
