Re: 2021 BAKERSFIELD SWAP MEET-BACK ON- PLEASE READ!!

Its been a few days and a lot has been happening. Here's the latest:

We mailed the information packets to the 2019 Bakersfield vendors today. There were 195 vendors on that list. I tried to have the exact "Bakersfield" grid duplicated on the Tulare grounds. Unfortunately, that simply wasn't possible. There were a few permanent structures and the "lay of the land" just wouldn't allow for that. The "streets" at the swap area are lettered "A", "B", "C",etc from West to East. "H" street is the dividing line between the "Swap-O-Rama spaces and the Pre-War/Brass Era grid. The current map shows about 200 spaces for the pre-war grid. There is ample room to expant that to 400, 600, 800, or more if demand is great enough. With over 600 acres to work with, I think there should be plenty of room. If you want to have swap spaces next to your friends, get together with them and decide where you want to be. Contact the International Agri Center and make your request. They are very easy to work with and will make sure you get a spot the will work for you. They would like to fill in the spaces from west to east so no one winds up "out in the boondocks" by themselves. Judging from the initial responses, this should turn out to be a very successful event. If you have any specific questions, you can call me at: five five nine 967- zero one one two. Questions about obtaining a swap space and general information should be directed to the International Agri Center at: five five nine 688 one zero three zero. I look forward to seeing many of you in Tulare. Let's have some fun!!! Kind Regards, Bill Bennett
