Event Coverage Swap-O-Rama Tulare, October 2, 2021

Not the same vacc as being administered in USA. Relax. Go get immunized.

 

May 1st,,,,
First El Mirage meet of the year,,,,,,

 

I'm not worried about it in the least, I want to know if they're requiring masks.

 

No thanks.

 

Don't want to stray off topic so I deleted my post. Looking forward to the meet.

 

Swap-O-Rama Pre-War Area is filling up pretty fast, about 100 spaces available at this time in Swap-O-Rama area,

Hey all you Southern California guys, I just noticed that Pomona has cancelled again. I wanted to send out an invitation to all of you guys and gals to come and check out Swap-O-Rama in Tulare California May 1st. Parts for Hot Rod, C-10, Muscle Car, Low Rider, and just added "Pre-War Brass Era" vehicles (Formerly Bakersfield Swap Meet, HCC). Hope to see you here in Central California!

I will be at the end of “ J “ and “ K “ rows
manning a tent for EFV-8 Foundation Museum and The MTFCA Museum in the prewar section.

I have attended The Bakersfield Swap Meet for the last several years - posting short videos on Instagram & Facebook & YouTube.

All (200) spaces for pre-war have sold out
and more row(s) are being added as vendors
continue to express interest.

@Sanford&Son

I'm still waiting to hear if masks are required.

 

Take one with you. Trust me, it may be uncomfortable, but won’t damage you in any way

 

I've been to a couple swaps up there in the Central Valley (Selma, Stockton, Turlock) within the last 6 months and mask were worn by some, but not mandatory. There were way more people without masks than with them.

 

I am used to wearing a mask but that is just because I am hideous.


Jim

 

Me too. I just want to make sure I don't drive all the way to Tulare for nothing.

 

Masks are suggested to get in gate, we want everyone to be and feel safe. Also we are not the Mask-Police!

 

Hello HAMBERS, We are now Sold Out in the Main Swap Meet Area and Pre-War Area ALL (650-20'x40') spaces. We have 4 spaces at this time in Gasoline Alley (Gas Pumps, Signs and Automobilia) please book asap to get one of those spaces. We have some space in the Car Corral for vehicles For Sale only! Call our office 559.688.1030 and ask for Crystal or press #3 on automated line. We are putting a list together, if we get enough vendors on the list we may carve out more spaces? No Guarantee?
Thanks for your interest in Swap-O-Rama!

Friday Bump....

 

I am sure you can DM Jim about criteria within the swap.
I will be there buying and selling also having a great time with the folks I enjoy being around.
This is going to be an outstanding event I can feel it.

 

Do you know if you have any Rambler/AMC specific vendors for this event?

 

Been a looking forward to this for months, found out Thursday I have to pull a day shift tomorrow.

Please post pics to further my misery.

 

best be there early to buy - take lots of small bills - vendors can not always give change for twenties, 100's - then walk around take pics to share here

 

Jim, nice talking with you at the meet.

 

Likewise

The Tulare Swap Meet was a big success.

Possibility of another meet October 2nd.

Next year Tulare Swap Meet will be in April


Jim

 

BTW

I attended to report on the pre-war & early brass
vendors and attendees - this was heavily promoted
by myself and others on Facebook & Instagram
after the green light was given to Bill Bennett
who presented the possibility of combining
the cancelled April Bakersfield Pre-War Swap Meet
with the traditional event.

I was live streaming starting Friday morning
at dawn - about four of us got in line
near the grassy picnic area in front
if the main Ag building on late Thursday afternoon.

Live streaming continue in the vendor set up line
that started forming early Friday morning.

The gates opened at 9:00 am Friday for all day
vendor set up - I live streamed on Friday.

I left the Ag building at 8:00 am this morning
to shower - the line to get in was over a mile
long.

I did a few more live streams throughout today.

5000 attendees were expected - every vendor
I talked to was pleased.


Jim

 

I would just like to say that i attended the swap meet with a couple of buddies. We were very impressed!! Great signs to tell you where and what, great parking, great vendors, (did'nt have to walk past tons of new crap to see cool stuff)yes i bought some things and woulda coulda shoulda bought some more. Car corral was a little weak but hey it was the first time. This was way better than i thought and really look forward to going again. I think next time tho as a seller. Keep up the good work this has the makings to be great!

 

I enjoyed it.....3-hour drive but was worth it....

 

anyone take pics with phone to share?

 

I listed a few pics of the recent May 1st Swap-O-Rama, it exceeded our expectations with the awesome vendors from California all over the country! We are gearing up for October 2nd, 2021, please feel to contact our office to request your space. We got some great compliments on the Swap-Meet from the car community, that means the world to us!
Thanks to all that attended and hope to see you in Tulare, California on Saturday October 2nd, 2021! (Move in on Friday October, 1st.)

 

Heard it was a great swap! Had a space...but couldn't go. Will definitely get a space for October...thanks for putting it on!
