5-7-11_Tri Cities, Washington: HAMB Breakfast Before the Kennewick Swap Meet.

This Saturday morning, a few of us HAMB guys are getting together at Magill's in Pasco, off of Road 68 at 8am before the Kennewick Swap Meet. Join us!

 

I'll be there!

 

I plan on taking some stuff to the swap meet so I'll have to see what my timeline is.

 

Mr48chev, let us know if earlier will work better. MaGill's opens at 7am so maybe we can move it a bit earlier if it can make breakfast doable

 

I am new to the tri-cities area. I am working for U.S.Cellular in kennewick right now and might be moving to this side of the mountains next month. I am going to try and stop by for breakfast! What other rod events happen out here?

 

ILLEAGLE, you should stop by if you can. As for car stuff, I do not know much but there is a swap meet Sat at the fairgrounds in Kennewick and a car show downtown Kennewick. I too am new to the area so I only know of a few car things going on.

 

Just a reminder, 8am at Magills off of road 68

 

8 is fine. I decided to bag hauling a load of stuff down there when it started blowing and raining here this afternoon.

I/we will just take the minivan instead as I'm not looking for anything that is too big to haul in it.

 

Hey How big a swapmeet is this? I'm wondering if I should scratch going to the swapmeet in Omak if this one is bigger please let me know asap as I'll be leaving early from Seattle Thanks

 

JJGS,

I have never been to it but I heard it is a good one.

 

I don't think it is as big as it was 15 years ago but It usually draws a decent number of vendors with interesting parts. It's about 4-1/2 hours from Seattle if you don't take a long breakfast stop on the way. I 90 to I 82, I 82 to exit 101 which goes to Richland, Pasco, kennewick and then on to the Benton Franklin Farigrounds in Kennewick.

This should get you to the front gate if you come from Seattle

Glad you can make it. Look forward to meeting you.

 

It was nice meeting the two of you this morning.

 

Crap I had planned to go up there this year but had truck problems and had to pass .
Glad to see some folk trying to do something like that .

 

You too Rob...glad you were able to make it.
Did you et anything at the swap?

 

I posted it on the thread I posted with the photos but I found a pair of 57 Buick hubcaps, a rear bumper with brackets for the 48, A gas tank for my boat with the correct fitting already on it and a 17 inch Chevy six lug wire wheel that is the wrong style to match the three I have. I could have spent a ton if I had it to spend.

 

This was a cool little swap meet. Prices were lower than the westside swaps. Bought a couple toy cars, and a set of ET-II 5 spokes with junk slicks. Great wall art. I have not pulled them from the trunk yet because its raining real hard. It was 65+ and sunny!!! Well worth the trip to the Tri-Cities.
