Howe Caverns Bicycle Show and Swap Meet Sunday July 27th.

[StevieZ59]

Yes this is a rain or shine event. For the people that are bringing show bikes. The pavilion is big enough and is clean and dry. Our local forecast by our news channels are saying thunderstorms for p.m. so that's good. Come on and come all let's make this a big show!!!

I'll be there in the morning, probably a little after 9:00. But if it looks likely to be wet, we probably won't want to make a 4 hour drive to sit in the rain with stuff for sale.

I really want to thank everyone that came to suport this event. When I got up in the morning and Scene it raning I wanted to cry. But as people started to show up and the rain went away. At the end of the day we had 100 show bikes. And 32 venders. It just proves that no matter the weather. The bicycle croud is a croud of diehards. Thanks to everyone for coming out. Keep a eye out for the date for this even next year. Dates fill up fast for that pavilion. We may move it a week ahead so we can avoid all the other activities in the area. Thanks for everyone that took pics for posting them and sending them to me.
