Event Coverage Jefferson 2026

It's that time of year to start the car season off. Stop by my vintage camper for a beer. Who knows what treasures are waiting. I always find something cool or rare

 

Sounds like a barrel of laughs. By the way, how goes the repairs on your coupe?

 

And still, he has time to go to the swap meet, wish I had your energy Brian!

 

My Bro asked me today if we were going. Maybe on Friday. Not really looking for anything. That's usually when I come home with something I don't need.

 

Going Friday.
No great expectations . Wish they opened at 7:00 am and let cars in the parking lots before the gate opens .
Its been BS the last few times.

The ground is still pretty wet .
Don't need anything specific

 

Enjoy.
With all it's perceived or real flaws be grateful a swap of that size is available to attend.

 

you should post the dates for people who don't know.

 

Weather looks a little sketchy Fri but we'll just have to see.

 

Not this spring.
I will see what the Fall Jefferson looks like.

 

There saying possable thunder storms early Friday morning.

The parking fields are already pretty wet from last week. Hopefully they are OK and the weather clears out by 7:00.

I just wish he would allow parking early so your not sitting in traffic on a Friday/ work day at 7:30 . Id rather just get there early and wait in the truck .

 

7:43. Parking not open .
Traffic backed up a half mile on the road .
Same BS .

 

***you'd think they'd know how to run a show of this size after all these years; people don't like to wait in lines!

 

IMO the show going to starting on Friday has made it worse not better.
First is your now taking a day of work to attend or two to sell as you better be set up Thursday night .

It Doesn't open untill 8 on friday vs 6 that it used to open on so there is no early bird gets the worm . Now you have the parking not open untill 7:45 so even if your early your actually late by the time you get into the gates . Tommorow after its all picked over from today they open it at 6 .

Any way I just got out of there .
Bought a old set of headers, a fuel tank and a few dodads . Glad it only rained slightly and there was no wind .

Hopefully those here who went found something good.

 

Meh. Didn't make it this time. Maybe in the fall.

 

Vended yesterday and sold some treasures and about 300 toggle switches I inherited and that's the good news. Bad news is I still have 300 more to go, but more good news is they are NOS U.S. made ones from the 1980's . Could only make it one day this year. Thinking I'll sell them online in lots of 3-5 to make them go away. Good luck to everyone else buying and selling this spring.
