Larry,
I have the shop open about 10 miles away, I used to go but you can't take everything and they always ask and I say its back at the shop, so I decided to keep the shop open and sell a lot more this way, last year got about 35 folks here and to them its like a swap meet when they roam all the buildings, Bob

Bob, I sure understand that. We sell new Model A parts and no matter what you take, it's not what is selling this year. Unless you have a dedicated trailer with all the parts on board, just isn't worth the work.
I know the voices aren't real but damn they have some good ideas! :shock:

I’ve reserved my spaces and I’ll be at Belvedere if the weather forecast is decent. I’ll be bringing a basic selection of new parts and some small quality used items. If anyone wants to pre-order new parts, I can offer a percentage off the major vendors prices on quantity orders.

That's early! I was thinking that it maybe started at 8. Is there a lot of vendors/people ready to sell at 6? I've never been so just curious, it's a 3 hour drive for me.

Vendor setup starts around 11am Friday. For the best buys, buy 1 vendor space and sit there all day Friday for the top pick of what pulls in. Maybe 50% more vendors show up Saturday.

It looks like I'll be making the trip over, does anyone have the location/address? Is there a cost for parking/entrance fee?

Well I found several little treasures at the little Hershey, also got to go through Bobs out buildings at Bobs Antique Auto Parts and dig through thousands of parts, I found some much needed parts and Bob was kind enough to let me take my time as well. He’s really a great guy and has tons of inventory, no telling what is hidden in those buildings.

I was there on Sat. Being my first time there, I was disappointed in the number of vendors. Is it getting smaller? I went to Bob's and got what I needed. That place is fantastic!
