Event Coverage KC Ararat Swap Meet in April

Hey guys, Just seen the Ararat is not at the Woodlands this year. The KC Start listed it as being at "435 & Parvin Rd". I'm pretty familiar with that exit, but cant figure what parking lot it's going to be at. Any ideas..... Carl Hagan

 

Worlds of fun parking lot.

 

I heard that the Woodlands lost their gaming license and closed.

I live like a click away from WOF, actually OFF Parvin, in case someone needs a place to park a trailer, or ditch their car to carpool or something. I have a pretty big driveway and yard.... besides, it's like $7 admission to the swap meet PER CAR LOAD! LOL!

As of yet, I'm not even sure if I'll be around that weekend. PM me if interested.

I am coming. Hoping to buy some cool stuff. It's next weekend. http://www.araratshrine.com/swap/

 

Unfortunately, it's more of a "buy meet"... if swappin' was the name of the game, I'd be in business! LOL!

~Jason

 

I'll be there.

 

If weather is good, then I'm there.

 

I was there in the rain last fall. Bought quite a few things. Good weather and swap meets very seldom go hand in hand.

 

It only ads to the shared camaraderie... suffering for our art.

I was at Woodlands last year in spring. Like you said, GOOD weather and swamp meets are NOT synonymous. Just the opposite.

But having our wonderful weather (Not) this weekend, perhaps the gods will bless us with good weather next weekend.

 

I hope it will be a little warm I felt like the pillsberry doeboy last year, I had to get undress every time I pick something up .

 

I will be there, bought a mag wheel last year that was hard to find. I just live a few blocks from there.

 

Like one wheel?

Seriously?

~Jason

 

Yes one wheel, already had the matching one at home.

 

That's amazing! Lucky, and amazing!

I live near Parvin & Chouteau. Nice to know I have interesting neighbors!

i be dere fo sho, playa.

 

Werd.

~Jason

 

I live one block west of the WOF water tower.

 

whats the weather looking like for friday?

 

HOT DAMN I love a swap meet,Ihavent been able to hit this one before,but Im gonna try like hell if the weather is cooperative

 

66 degrees and sunny - ditto for Saturday (but rain on Sunday).

~Jason

 

Oh yea, I'm definitely there. I braved the rain last year, and all i got was a cold. Wouldn't miss it.

 

I bought all kinds of shit today! I heart the swap meet.

 

Was well worth the 6 hour drive for me, i sure miss the woodlands tho, way too spread out at worlds of fun, but wow for lots of good stuff

 

I really felt shitty I couldn't go - the admission price would've wiper out all the money I had left, which I had to use for gas this week!

I felt better when I saw that you guys with money (the ones I'm terribly envious of) were getting rained on... but the sun came out and I felt like crap again.

I just KNOW I'd have found something I've wanted for like 20 years if I went. Of course I would: I was broke! LOL!

So folks, what did I miss? Tell me there was nothin' good there!

~Jason

 

bought plenty of shit

original 52 missouri plates for my chevy 30 bucks
peanut tank for chopper 20 bucks
old cowl cut in like 3 pieces and tacked back together 10 bucks
new holley carb 25 bucks
and front and back power heated leather seats out of like a caddy or something 50 bucks.
and also a new paint ball gun guy wanted 125 at the start of the day and i bought it for 20 as we were leaving HA

 

also an original 57 chevy WCFB carter carb for 15 dollars BOO YAH

 

Biggest problem was parking and access. I ended up parking in the residential area immediately to the North and then walking over.

 

Like I said folks, if they do it next year, if a bunch of y'all want to park up my yard and carpool over, let me know. I'm like a mile or two away, at Parvin & Chouteau.

And you'd save admission - they charge per CARLOAD of people. And you can always come back for your truck later... LOL!

THIS IS A FUNDRAISER FOR THE SHRINERS. You know, the guys who provide FREE healthcare for kids at their hospitals and give first rate care.......give 'em a break for crying out loud.
