    I,m wondering who is all going. I have not been to this one yet but have heard it is a good swap meet.
    But then again indoor swap meet in Feb. weather should be a good motivator.

    I have all intentions of going, weather could play a factor though, its kind of a hike for me.
     
  3. Will be there in the early AM Saturday. HAMB and RRT guys usually meet at 10 AM in the north/south connecting hallway.

    My son and I will probably be there, weather permitting. Because of the blizzard last year, we almost didn't make it home. A big accident closed us-127 and we had to take drifted back roads home.

    I'm thinking I might run down for the first time. Is there much in the line of 50's stuff?

    The boys and I will be there. Bringing home a '52 Chevy 3100 from Plainwell afterwards.

    If anyone wants to ride along from this side, we may have an extra seat. You can help winch the truck up on to the trailer!!

    I'm going with 3 friends. Kalamazoo is usually a really good swap meet. Usually get good deals. Especially outside. We'll be there about 10 Am Sat too.

    From my experience this swap tends to caters to OLDER cars and the "resto" crowd, (20's-40's) i think its connected to the Antique Auto ***oc. somehow. Thats said, theres usually a good smattering of a bit of everything you never know whats gonna show up. Besides, where else can you go in MI in February for your automotive fix?

    That said, i probably wont be going. been more into MCM house stuff lately...

    well you could put on a nats t shirt and hit the bar :D Thats rod related...
    I was thinking of running out sunday and look around cause im was thinking about a little project but the yesterday after 31 years i joined the ranks of the unemployed ... Ill stay home and work on the harley and save some money...
    Who ever is going its a good swap but you may or may not find that deal your looking for although there are deals . Id think with the economy as it is there may be more that usual.. Have fun...

    I'm about 120 miles away, hope to be there around 9-10 Saturday morning. Unfamiliar with the area but it doesn't look too hard to find. So... 10 oclock-ish, north/south hallway? I'll try & find it.
