New Hampshire swap meets

Well, I miss the old Amherst, NH swap meet. Located there for 40+ years.

Now there is Candia, NH and New England Dragway in Epping, NH taking it's place.

Are there any other notable NH swap meets?

I'm from NH also.

 

To your question, not yet.

 

There was rumor that Amherst was coming back this year under new management with the same family as the owners.

 

I don't think this is going to happen.

 

I was driving by the Amherst location several weeks ago a saw surveyor stakes and flags all around the show field. 

 

It appeared that the land had been sub divided for home construction.

 

I hope this is not the case and the rumors bear fruit.

Thanks XP.

I have many memories of Amherst. Was hoping it would come back.

I,too, think it is an end of an era.

I heard of amhurst restarting also from credible source,but seeing survey stakes changes all.

I don't think epping will pan out but other one might.

Don't miss fitchburg airport in spring...

I was not impressed with Epping either.

 

I have not been to the one in Candia but will go this year. I've heard from some it's the better of the two locations.

 

I go every year to the Fitchburg show.

The Amherst Show Is Back.

 

It starts this Sunday May 29. 2016 and every last Sunday of the month till and including October.

I attended the Amherst show today.

 

I was not expecting much, but considering the poor weather, a holiday weekend, and only three weeks notice by word of mouth; I was impressed.

 

Quality dealers, All the dealers who attended in past years and chose to go this weekend were in there usual spots.

 

Some dealers told me they were having good sales and some added that sales were better than what they had at New England Drag.

 

It felt like the Amherst of old.

 

Pass the word Amherst is back.
