Your so lucky. I remember swapmeets. They were so much fun.

 

Is it a good swap meet to attend?

 

It's become quite a good swap meet. Since it's so early in the year sometime it's hampered by very cold temps and sometime pretty sloppy with mud in some areas if it's been raining or snow & ice thawing. But, the die-hards still show up.

Thanks,I might drive up

 

They used snow plows yesterday to remove the snow from the fairgrounds.

 

The best meet between St. Louis and Memphis ! So don’t miss it !!!.

 

Just drove by the arena building in the park ! All the snow is gone on the pavement and some ground is clear ,,, plenty of room to SWAP & SHOP !!!

 

I’ll be there with a couple of tables of odd and ends. Finally a swap meet that is not canceled

 

Damn!! Be nice to see some again.

Someone take some pics and post please. Can't be there at least it might be nice to see some pics to remember what they were actually like!!

 

Where and what times is this meet?

 

Cape Girardeau, MO.....Arena Park. Many get there before it's light out, shopping with flashlights. For all purposes, by what I've noticed in recent years, people start packing up mid afternoon.

Thanks! I’ll see if I can make it!

 

I’ll be there but I’d lay money parking will be a mud fest which should be fun and interesting. Nothing a 4 wheel drive loaded with cord wood can’t handle.

Great to hear you're actually having a swap meet.
Show us pics of what we're missing! Here in the East, Maryland is having one in about a month.

 

I'll be there and I'll try and take a few pictures

 

Make sure and stay 6 ft apart and wear your masks, good luck hunting.

 

I got to the swap meet shortly after 6:00 AM and stayed about 3 hours. Only bought a couple small items and unfortunately found nothing that was actually on my mental "shopping list". Sorry, but didn't take any photos. I'd say there were at most about 50% as many venders as a more typical year, but the recent v-e-r-y cold temps and snow we had probably kept many from being there.

FWIW, I'm on blood thinner and am always cold. By the time I left even wearing a hooded zip-up sweatshirt-type coat, insulated coveralls and gloves my fingers were numb!
