Last time I went, it was still down in Cresson, near the MSR... but I doubt it's changed a whole lot...
IMHO, swap meets have gone downhill but I still make a bunch every year just in case.
Pate used to be much better but I will still go.
It is hugh and take some water as the drink prices are not cheap.
Our Corvette club was having this discussion about what has degraded swap meets and we feel it is e-bay.
Folks are selling parts there for sometimes unheard of prices and they don';t have to load up, travel, load up, drive back, and hope the weather is good.
Just MHO.
Right Jack, When they give me the "well I can get $$$ for this on ebay"
I ask "Why are you sitting out here in the hot sun for 4 days, then?
Still some good folks left, though.
I go every year and set up.
Kinda like a mini vacation for friends and family!
Good deals can still be found, but internet has changed the experience.
This year I have internet access at my space so I will let you know what I find.
Or stop by and say Hi!!
I will need to look up where I will be but I will have a huge blue FORD sign from a dealership and a yellow 70 Mustang convertible.
