Still looking like rain on Sat am and sunny Sunday I will do a report on-the-air Saturday about 9:10am .. tune to 650am KSTE for live from the swap meet weather report ... (the station also streams on the web KSTE.com .. aka Talk650)
if you go to weather.com (the weather channel), actually the forcast looks pretty damn good. seems like it was pretty good earlier in the week, then got a little worse every day. now better. now, they're sayin only some rain late friday night and real early saturday morning. they are sayin sunshine by daybreak. for Turlock in january, sounds like paradise to me. steve

you guys think i will have a problem getting a spot to sell on sunday? i have sold at a couple of them and never had a problem.
Glendale, Sorry all spaces are sold out ... you can only hope to share a space with a buddy already there and Sunday is usually a SLOW day --not many real buyers after 9 am. and they never sell any spaces at the gate for this Modesto Area A's JAN swap meet.. (you can always get a space at the other meets in Turlock) this one is the Grand Daddy... of Nor Cal Swap meets with all of us blue hair - overweight rust-a-holics ..holding on to spaces year after year it's our once a year get together to see who still standing ...
Got some rain overnite-so wear boots for walking in mud, and dry ones for ride home. Remember to bring lots of cash, never know what you will find.
