For once we had no SNOW, no MUD, and no RAIN except for some sprinkles on Saturday morning. But what we did have for weather was cold temps and wind. The number of vendors was equal to last year and the number of spectators was up slightly due to nicer weather conditions than in the past. The vendor gates were flung open at 3 PM on Thursday afternoon and the stampede was off. All vendors were inside the grounds by 6 PM. Six loader tractors, Bobcat, etc were on hand and were kept busy all day on Friday and Saturday. For more 2012 swap meet photos, click HERE.

The Board of Directors would like to thank every one for attending!

Please be at your vehicle by at least 10 AM Thursday morning. We will leave vendors in until it gets dark and then shut the gates, and then open again at 6:00 AM Friday morning. Still no selling until Friday morning and spectators are asked to stay away until 8:00 AM on Friday morning, that way the congestion in the parking lot will be down to a minimum.

Vendor prices are as follows:
$45 Charge for outside space, if you need an oversize space, please consider paying double.

$50 For inside space, paid in advance with registration. Inside spots sell out every year, so best is to check with Nancy if any are available.

Registration Building: As soon as you arrive please come to the building and get registered. Register your golf cart, lawn mower or handicap vehicle at the counter just inside the front door. Vendor registration is against the back wall. Be sure to grab a cup of coffee and cookie.
