as usual, we'll be there all weekend. our tribe will be a little short this year as some are goin w/car to GNRS.
CC 97 and CC 98.
stop by for a beer, soda, whatever.
chili usually served around 11-12 PM on saturday.
we are in the southwest most corner of the fairgrounds. our spots back up to the unused pig stalls. very nice, very, very nice.

 

Ive been going since before i was born. Havent missed a year yet rain or shine.

 

Me too!

My mom was pregnant with me in January of 1970... she went with my dad in his '65 ElCamino, and had a space in one of the now coveted buildings.

We went the following year, and then joined the Modesto Area A's in '72...

Lotta fun there as a kid!

I'll Be there in space E-25 & E-27.

You will see my White '55 Ford F~350 Flatbed.

Come Buy some Junk !!!

 

I'll be there with my dad (lurking as "Dr. Dave" on the HAMB) trying to find stuff I dont need...and stick to the a.m. beer drinking that is so necessary on swap meet mornings...

I'll try to track down as many of you guys who have noted your spaces here as I can...

 

Its good to know that you all are going. We'll all be looking for the same **** and thanks to mike and vern we all know what to look for... I'll be looking for a vintage sailboat. I hear they are good on gas mileage...

 

Sure honey

 

forget the the sailboat , you might be better off with a row boat.......its been raining all day here and its suppost to rain off and on tomarrow . only calling for a chance of rain sat though but its gonna be puddle city , better wear some waterproof boots !

 

got a little load put together and I'll be headed down in the morning. Sharing a space with a friend.

 

Leaving Lake Co. at 3am Sat. Have my rain gear.
Need a new set of big and little's for the roadster. Coker people are usually there and can save shipping.
I go even when I don't need anything. I was once asked why. I thought a little and all I could think to say was "I just like being around the stuff".
Gary

 

I agree. In most cases I'm pretty happy to let someone else own it, I just like to admire it for a bit...

 

Help. My friend had to go back east so I need a ride. I'm in Sact. highway 50 and Bradshaw. I will pay for the gas and lunch. If your leaving real early Sat. that is just fine with me. If your not coming back to Sacto Saturday evening let me know..
Thanks
Duane.
