Im think about making the 3 hr trip over just wondering what the turn out normally is for the swap meet and show. hate to drive 3hrs for 2 people selling stuff.

 

[RatMan]

Thanks for your inquiry. This will be our first year at the new location. At this point I can truthfully say that I don't know if we will have 10 vendors or 50. The response from Illinois has been fairly strong because of our proximity to Danville and Chambana. Since we are piggybacking with a well established local celebration, we will be gaining an audience that would not normally attend a "Bicycle only" event. We would like to grow this event but we can't do it without you!! Anyone else out there planning to attend? If not, see you at the Hunnert Car Pileup.
