I been going to it for 16 years. Well maybe not the one covid year.

 

I go every year, sometimes I come across something I need that's reasonably priced. Other times see nothing I need / want. Its a great way to get out, look around and bullshit with other car guys.

 

I have never attended this event, is it worth driving several hours to attend?

I haven’t cleared it with the “planning committee” (my wife) so it’s questionable if I’ll be there. It would be nice to attend a swap meet that isn’t all Camaro and LS parts

 

I think the Annual Swap Meet at the Kalamazoo Fair Grounds is a bigger event, I’ve been going to that one over 40 years. It’s scheduled for February 5th this year.

 

In the recent past, we have filled 90% of the 170 swap spaces and had over 25 more vendors outside. One year I was filling "no show vendors" spaces on the morning of the show right up to capacity. The outside count is really dependent on the weather. The facility is only maybe 20 years old, fully heated with power outlets at every space. Those resilient outdoor vendors can have as much space as they like right in front of the building, and can sell right off their trailer. All the parking and vending area is paved and there are no hills or slopes to climb. We will have a food vendor on site.

I've never been to this event before and it's only like 200 miles from me.

 

Glad to have you. We need all the spectators and vendors we can get. And the more promotion, the better.

 

Hello Hammerdrop,

FYI, I sent an email to BOPCswap@gmail.com moments ago to secure 3 swap spots @ $40 spot. Are you familiar with next steps for payment? Thanks

 

Anyone can go the the website BOPCSWAP.com , click details to see the flyer and print it. Then fill out your info and send your $$ to Randy, whose name and address is on the back of the flyer.

The spots are $45 starting Feb 1.

 

I am just posting a gratuitous plug for the BOPC SWAP tomorrow in St Charles, Illinois. With 46° being predicted tomorrow we might even fill with outdoor vendors.

 

Probably one of the best weather outlooks for this swap meet in years. I'm excited and will bet there. If it was dryer I would bring my olds. But I will just plan to load up the suburban with stuff I buy.

 

How was this event?
