Wowabunga Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 I've been wanting to attend for the past 2 years... heading down next weekend. In the middle of no where. My hope is if you get that far back into the woods some good stuff might craw out and end up on someone's vending table. http://www.chasingsscars.com/2016_floyd_auto_fair They have a large group of gals dressing up in 1940's WW2 fashions. Going down to put my toe in the water to see what is what. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
62BillT Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 I've been every year since it started at this location. Great small time meet and it is growing. We hope for it to be a mini-Charlotte someday. Plenty of room to grow to boot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I look for Impala parts and have more fun there that way to boot, lol. What kind of jacks do you like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wowabunga Posted June 4, 2016 Author Share Posted June 4, 2016 Rolled in at 7:30 and was able to get some quality shopping in before dusk. From the looks of the BBQ rig in front of the general store it's gonna be some good eating Saturday. Photo is after a quick rain, see rainbow in upper right corner.... so pretty out here. Saturday I'm told the empty field below the rainbow will be filled up with show cars....! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

62BillT Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 I got there a little before 11AM Saturday and stayed till about 6:45. Was another good day. Got some more good parts. Wowabunga, were you set up there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wowabunga Posted June 6, 2016 Author Share Posted June 6, 2016 Yes 62BillT.... drove down my Geo Metro ( got 50mpg on the trip ) to test the waters at the show. Brought enough stuff that would sell and yes the good stuff walked home with some happy shopper. I was up on the hill, just below the Indian Tee-Pee. And yes fellow vendors, I covered my expenses and met my sales/profit goal. Erik the promotor gives out some rather nice vendor door PRIZE$ on Sunday. There's a few old iron salvage yards in the area, looking into coming down early next show. Can never have enough 3cyl Geo parts...!!!! Made oodles of new friends... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
62BillT Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 I hit every table about 3 or 4 times. Just didn't know it was you, lol. From the Bath House how many over were you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wowabunga Posted June 7, 2016 Author Share Posted June 7, 2016 (edited) Bath house vendor had the doggie display with running water, and all the primitive wood antiques. I had one small table next to him, had the 3 spinner Lancer hubcaps and some nice floormats on the hill side. Just brought enough to cover my costs. Next trip I'll have the 62 Shasta Camper and some Firefly Tiki Lights for atmosphere. This place is so pretty, that making a fortune was just not on the to do list this weekend.... a much needed break in the action. Photo taken from my weekend vending spot / home away from home spot on the hill. So darn pretty here...

62BillT Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 I have a pretty good idea where you were at. I also rode by you a couple of times after picking up some parts. I had the '72 C-10 Long Bed similar to that nice '71/'72 Blue 4X4 across from you. But mine is a 2-Wheel Drive, Medium Green. I also have plans to go back again in August. Glad you liked it. It gets a little bigger and better every year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terry Bond Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 We'll be in that area in September - 16/17 for a MG club tour. Any recommendations for good antique shops, or anything to do with old cars appreciated! Terry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
