    You can go to the Google and plug in the address and ask for directions from your house here.
    39 Donovan Rd, Candia, NH 03034
    (EDIT: I have been advised to get there from Rt 27, use 12 Donovan Rd in your GPS)

    It tells me it is about 3 and a quarter hours from Ridgefield, Ct. @The37Kid

    One hour from Boston (minus the hour it takes to get across or out of that city, I'm sure).
    Two hours +/- from Springfield, MA
    90 minutes from Portland, ME
    Two hours or less from Providence, RI
    Two and a quarter hours from Hartford, CT
    Three and a half +/- from Albany, NY
    Two and a half +/- from Burlington, VT
    Five and a half hours from Philadelphia, PA

    Yes, Candia swap is in its infancy but it has grown big time every month( ok i know, it poured one month). Very much looking forward to the next one. Selling stuff and making many trips to the coffee truck!

    So, should I send my wife to get some of this apparently delicious coffee while I watch the booth?
     
  5. Let the wife watch the booth , you get the coffee.

    I am available for coffee runs during the entire morning, no charge. ( strictly in the interest of promoting good commerce on the field and at the truck). God Bless America!

    Really? Why is that? ;)

    I'm anxiously trying to keep track of the weather up there, here's the Monthly Forecast page for Candia, NH. Nothing meaningful for the 26th up there yet though. Check Sunday and there should be some guessing posted up there.
     
  8. You might appreciate the scenery. She probably won't.

    Pat, even if you don't drink coffee, you should get a coffee.

    Show up with 30 bucks, and you're a small business owner in tax free New Hampshire. They'll direct you to a spot, then come around to collect. Very low key, and a great family and location. If the Lord's willing, I shall be there expecting to spend lots of money on things I have no use for ( it's part of the disease)

    if you are using MapQuest, Google maps or GPS... The maps are wrong, Donovan RD is not a through road and it's only accessible form the Rt 27 side.

    Google Maps is calling that 12 Donovan Rd. The street view shows it as being a gravel road right by #669 on 27.

    Guys, is this the right place to go?

  17. If you paid for a space in June you DO NOT have to pay again in July. This was told to me by Keith Blevens.

    I just picked up a fresh load: Instrument panels I haven't ID'd yet, a nice long piece of 62 Falcon coupe trim, a couple core heaters, and a bunch of what I think is 1928 ish Chevy 4 banger valvetrain parts, to go along with all the other stuff I had at Fitchburg.

    I'm leaving the 1917 Dodge parts at home this time, but I'm bringing that vintage outboard everyone kept not buying but walking away from in agony!
     
  25. Sounds like there is going to be a good turnout of vendors this time. I'll be there with a load. 40 -47 Ford cab and doors,tools, misc.

    I'm hoping the Model A guys, Clyde and Elliot show up; last time I talked to Clyde he said yes. Watch out for people in maroon T- shirts, crazy Bubbas!

    Truck loaded and ready to rock!! Up at 4 and off to the Farm. HAMB sign will be displayed on my truck. Dark green '95 Ford PU, with a big, bearded, ugly guy in dirty clothes in the vicinity ( if not on a shopping spree) ( or Java run!)

    Loaded up and hitting the road. saw a jogger already so I guess I'm running late.
    Black RAM 1500. Bringing the vintage outboard; it's easy to spot. I think I have a HAMB sign in the truck too.
