Meant to put ROCKFORD in the title but hit GO before I did...
 
What size spaces. Can you park a trailer Inside space to sell off of? How much for the swap spaces?

Isn't there an annual Mopar swap meet at the fairgrounds in Belvidere each summer?

Read the flyer, no cost. I do have limited room to park trailers inside, more room outside, it all depends on weather.

I did read it. That's why I ask. Sales of food and drinks isn't going to cover the cost of doing this. How will you break even?
 
Will try to run up there if I can swing it with my work/kids schedule... Still looking for a decently priced SG chunk for my 742 :(

Thanks for posting man,
Pat

Sale of food and drinks? I am not covering the cost of anything, you bring your parts, throw them on the floor, and people will buy them. I have run car shows and swap meets for decades and know how to manage them. I own the building and basically having an open house while providing a venue to buy and sell. Since I am not officially open for business I can't legally charge for anything. The only costs I will have it toilet paper, soap, and water for the bathrooms and I might even turn on the lights!
 
A donation can would be cool, I am going to start setting-up a Mr. Norms Museum this year that will be a not-for-profit and will have to figure out funding. This is all new to me...
 
Looking OK, finally swinging our way. Looks good on Saturday for set-up and may not rain until later on Sunday. Most of it will be indoors, so there should be minimal problems even is the weather turns bad.
 
Between the weather and the parts that I needed to fix my truck it doesn't look like truck will make it.

So I've rented a car. I'm planning on being there with whatever parts will fit in it.
 
We made it.
2 1/2 hours of very high winds. Only say 1 accident. Semi trailer came unhooked from the tractor pulling it going down the interstate at 70 miles an hour.
Someone need to bring a magnum 4 barrel intake to trade or sell me.
318 look me up when you get here.
