Wowabunga Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 Thursday night setup and Princess can't wait for everyone to open up Friday morning. I did notice guys with flash lights shopping and buying late into the night..! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wowabunga Posted May 14, 2021 Author Share Posted May 14, 2021 This is year 7 and my has it grown. I attended the original maiden voyage effort and knew immediately success was in store: run by wonderful volunteers, the VFW show grounds is surrounded by mountains and the food good. Hot showers as I'm a vendor is a huge plus. Seven years ago something like 22 vendors kick started this effort... 68+ vendors today..!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wowabunga Posted May 14, 2021 Author Share Posted May 14, 2021 (edited) I'm giddy happy with my early morning treasure I bought and if I'm lucky I'll sell enough to cover for my addiction LOL. Pictured vendor offering a "clean out sale" and he's posted a sign saying he's leaving at noon today. Talk about pressure... He got me for $35. Busiest vendor on the lot..!

trimacar Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 Weather perfect and some great folks there, nice swap meet! I went to buy nothing, just visit, but accidentally opened a machine tool box and found something totally different inside, a nice prize to bring home! The best was seeing and visiting with friends, but saw a lot of purchases being carried away! Great turnout..... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pkhammer Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 Sorry I missed you Dave! The weather and turnout was great and I had to make several trips to the parking lot with treasures! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
