    With the weather around here being what it is, I am sure some people will have second thoughts about travel for any extended distance. It is supposed to get warmer by the week-end but the wind chill this morning is -20. Hopefully the Coliseum crews will have the parking lots cleared of snow and you can get around the buildings by Friday. Friday is my usual day, but if it is still nasty I"ll pass.

    Hell, the major roads have been clear all week. I've been driving my delivery route each day with no problems. There won't be any problems getting to the swap meet.

    I usually go Friday, but with all the bad weather I'm WAY behind at work. I hope to make it Saturday, but that might not happen either.:(

    In all my years living in Wichita, I dont think I have ever seen it canceled, but I may be mistaken, as I have missed a year or two from time to time.

    I highly encourage any that might be able to attend, to go, even if you dont buy nothing, there is always so much cool stuff to look at, its just a good time for any hot rodder. As a young one, it was my favorite thing of the year to attend with my father, and its still my favorite.

    Friday is the day to go, if you want to catch any early deals, but usually everything doesnt arrive till Saturday. Early Saturday is the day to get there if you want to try and catch everything. By the time Sunday arrives, most has been picked over, but thats the time to catch the deals on stuff that was priced too high, and the person doesnt feel like carting stuff home again.

    Hope to see some of you out there.
     
  14. It's only Friday and Saturday, not Sunday.

    Rolling out of KC Thursday at 12 to setup. Will be back in my usual spots (N,O12) in the main building.
    Always a great swap I always feel like the groundhog digging out of my garage for the first car event of the year.
    Friday morning is the best time to get deals.. Unless your a dealer Thursday night..

    We're setting up our swap space this afternoon. This event is always the highlight of the winter, which otherwise sucks! See you all there!

    The roads were pretty darned good yesterday. Haven't been out today, but most of the snow blew off the roads except for drifts.

    I was planning to be there Friday, but work is getting in the way. Saturday for sure.
