Sorry, you were disappointed. This is our 9th year and it has been very well attended and quite a bit of stuff is bought and sold. Other than a couple years where we had real bad weather, I've never heard anyone say they were disappointed with what was at the swap meet. I'd be interested in knowing why you were disappointed if you don't mind posting; we're always looking to improve. We have kept it totally free to both buyers and sellers except for indoor vending spaces. The weather is forecast to be in the high 50's, low 60's and clear, so you can't hardly beat that weather in Missouri in March! Hope to see you all there. There is a post in the show sections with more information, but feel free to post here with any questions. Michael

I've been to most, from the first one in Harrisonville when the wind was howling on Saturday to snow covered one in Lathrop, plenty of vendors, if you follow other threads, people make arrangements ahead of time for parts and equipment they are looking for or selling so, yes, some parts are already spoken for. It's another A-C meeting place for me, check in with folks I wouldn't see elsewhere but there's well worn to NOS parts available, just depends on what you need or want or even better, find what you didn't know you wanted until you see it.

This will be my first time at the swap meet. I know two folks who will be at the meet, one is riding with me. I have decided already it will be a good time.

I am driving over 650 miles to go, lots of A-C stuff hidden away in barns or shed for years that makes an appearance!
