    Last year there were probably 200. That is just a guess, This year is the 2nd year and it should be a lot bigger. Last year it was really a decent meet.

    specialK, Not trying to be a smart a.. or anything, But by sunday most people are ready to go home. Probably a good idea to come earlier if you are coming on sunday. I just came from there and by the looks of things,It should be a good meet. Looking forward to tomorrow and sat.

    @peddlr - I thought the same thing, but then you posted about so many vendors, I was surprised there were all gone by noon - I might try a little earlier (like saturday) this year :)

    went there today, Friday. Its a small meet (maybe more come in later) and and not much in the way of street rod stuff, lots of rust. I'd guess about 50 or so vendors this morning up till noon.
    My big score was 4 golf cart wheels.

    My neighbor called me at 7:00 and said vendors are still coming in. He said he thought it was about 80% sold out. I'm leaving in the morning about 5:30.
