    This is on Jan 16-18. Is it worth it spending time to go there? Is it auto parts, not trinkets? Thanks

    here's the deal, swap meet is like a hit or miss deal, but something to do. after swap meet walk across parking lot to the farmer market, eat, buy something for the little woman to cook later that night. Then drive over to Crossroads HD on Rt 309, walk around there, then drive about another mile south on 309 and stop by RT Street Rods and walk around there.
    see ya there

    i wouldn't drive more than 25 miles for an indoor swap meet. i've never found them to be worth the time.

    my 2 cents worth of imput
    winter, a day out, driving my 40, meeting friends,looking at others parts (junk ? ) and maybe finding that long lost part that I was looking for. ya never know till you go and look. then some good food and a ride home. what more can we ask for?

    enjoy the hobby and most of all enjoy life!

    Its the first event of the year, a chance to get out of the house and search for the parts you need, its not the largest, but like all swap meets you never know what you might find.......its worth the time and money to just say Hi to old friends......stan

    It's usually small, very small..but you never know what you'll find. I believe there is a guy who sets up and sells "historical documents". he had hundreds.
     
  10. I thought it was pretty overpriced when I went 4 years ago, didn't bother going back. You'd accomplish more spending the day wrenching.
