Event Coverage Peotone, Ill. swap meet

Peotone swap meet was great Sunday. I got there at 6:45 and had to set up down in the horseshoe. Great weather for this time of the year. South of Chicago. Rotten economy. Seems like a lot of guys are finally selling off some of their stashed stuff. More BUYERS than usual stimulating MY economy. There was a nice original looking and great sounding 50 Olds 2 dr. there for ( I think) $8,000. I had a good, (and profitable) time, anyway. Got some stuff for my '33 Olds, too.

 

Ah crap I forgot about it and I went to Chicago on Sunday...would have been a short detour for me !

 

I always forget about that swap meet. Last year, we went too late in the afternoon, and everyone was packing up.

 

I didn't find anything but i met some real nice folks out there. seemed small to me

 

As always mostly Chevy and I am looking for Ford stuff . I did walk around the horseshoe a couple times . Did the building a lap or 2 , hard sometimes to see with the crowd ..

 

i am in Chicago Thursday friday & Saturday anything going on?

 

I love the small ones because they are usually local clubs and you get to bullshit around with everyone more. It's something to do in March in the snow-belt..................
I guess 'stang didn't see the nice '50 Olds for sale, or the Buick, Olds, and '57 Ford parts I had on my table.
Inside the building usually gets crowded in shifts. Hang around awhile and go back in when the crowd thins.
They have a great fairground kitchen in there, too. Homemade biscuits and gravy.
