    Here is info on the swap meet.

    THE SEPTEMBER18 & 19 SHOW IS ON !

    We have been approved by the health dept to hold our event.
    If you are planning on attending we will need the name and phone # of all attendees. If you are driving in at the gate be prepared to give it to our gate people or to help speed your entry have it written down in advance and hand it in.

    Mask wearing will be mandatory inside all buildings and strongly encouraged while at the event.

    We also ask that everyone do their part in maintaining your distance from others. This is a large facility and we have wide aisles!

    Vendor information will be going out this coming week.

    Thank you in advance for your cooperation. We have been getting tons of calls from everyone asking if we will be having the show and have worked very hard to make this happen.

    "If you are planning on attending we will need the name and phone # of all attendees."

    Does that mean buyers as well as those selling?

    County health department requested the name/number info. Assume for COVID tracing.
    Anyone attending they said on their FaceBook page. I was just posting what I read.

    Just got home after a 10+ Hr. round trip to Franklin and thought it was well worth the time spent. Traveled with 2 friends and although we didn't buy a truck load of parts, we all came away with things we wanted, needed, and generally enjoyed the swap meet. Of swap meets I've been to recently (2 others in the last 3 or 4 weeks) Franklin was my favorite. Well laid out, nicely displayed parts (thankfully few trailers 1 foot deep with junk) in general a good swap meet. If you see this in time and can go to Franklin on Saturday I don't think you'll regret it.

    Sorry, no photos to tease. The thought of taking pictures just never crosses my mind.
