Old guys might remember there was a swap meet at this location that ceased years ago. Seems like it was in cold weather. Spaces outside under open pavilions and a large indoor space. 

The Hawk Mountain V8 Ford club used to have a flea market there in April, I think it was moved to May this year. We vended for a few years about 10 years ago and did ok.  We gave it up when we found that no matter how early we got there, other vendors hijacked the tables out of our spaces (each space came with 2-3 large wooden tables).

It looks like their event is Sunday May 21.

The Leesport event went off this morning with great weather. We arrived at 7:15AM to see the parking lot half full and dozens of spectators already shopping. The parking is far superior to the previous location. 
Most of the outside covered spaces were rented, plus a row of vendors outside along the building. There were 4-5 cars for sale. The inside portion is much smaller than the previous arena. We were there about 2 hours and made several nice buys. Looking forward to many more years here. 
 

Next stop is the Chesapeake Region parts meet at the Howard County (MD) Fairgrounds on Saturday March 9.

We found some good buys there yesterday.  The outside vendors lucked out with the good weather.  Not many visitors seemed willing to pay the $3 to go inside, and there seemed to be some vacant spaces inside as well. I hope the region made enough to cover expenses for the event.

Looking forward to that next weekend. It's always a great swap meet (except for the one year with the freak heavy snowstorm)
