    I just dropped off my trailer. I'm in the first spot in row 22 right near the car corral and food vendors. You can do a meet and greet there if you want. Just look for my Sedan, I'll have it at the begining of the isle promoting our show.

    I went to the one in the fall and was really surprised at the size , I also froze my **** off , Dennis O'brien talked me into it and helped me out along with his son=in-law Billy, I always keep some merch back there and my tables and shade and fill a suitecase or 2 to take , never know , I thought it was great swap meet ,everthing including the kitchen sink i only say that cause i did see one of them being carried out , if I get a chance I'd do it again but take warmer clothes --can't go in may --hope to make it to the HOT ROD FALL OUT , I missed it last year

CHECK OUT THE PICTURE BOARD --- I've got lots of kool projects that you don't want or need, but gotta have !!! I'll be the guy beating Bruce to all the good stuff....
