It's a huge swap meet and you will likely see some VW stuff. Chuck Pisconski (Litchfield promoter) usually has a swap spot there, selling Master Series paint and his various metal working tools.

A few years back I bought my KLH folding bike at this swap meet for $25.

I think I remember going to this swap many years ago - like 25+ years ago (!), so I guess any recollection doesn't matter anymore! It was huge, focused on older American stuff with some foreign stuff thrown in. The experienced had wagons, or rode bikes around.

Got me curious now on how it is today, but I got so much house-property-car-Vanagon stuff to do, I really shouldn't go.

Well I failed to notice it was last weekend. My friend sent the following note.
" . . it was this past weekend! Rumor has it that it was the last one. . . after 57 years.
We'll see.

Went to the show again to sell MasterSeries paint and Woodward Fab tools. Great show with nice weather. A little windy on Sunday. I did see some VW stuff passing by my booth, and there were odds and ends in the swap meet. Usually prices are cheap for VW items at these type of shows , and sometimes one can score on good stuff. Very Happy

Let's hope that the rumor you heard is false. Sad
