YES, it's a good sized swap meet. The guy from walneck's told us it's one of the biggest, and since they decided not todo the Grayslake one anymore (because of the whole Austin's saloon event problem), they invited everyone that would normally go there, to come to sandwich, instead! It all depends on who shows up, of course. Sometimes it's small, sometimes HUGE.
Don't you sell headlights, or something? Would be a perfect place to cash in. Vendors are $30 at the gate...no need togive advanced notice, or anything, just show up. Vendors can get in at 6:00 am, doors open to the public at 8:00 and ends at 3. Have to be packed up and out by 4.
Here's a link, if it helps. http://www.walneckswap.com/

That sounds like a fun time and Sandwish is a nice ride. Hey Mr HID where's the pictures of the hot chick instead of the flowers and the trees? Get that camera out a again and get us some shots!

Slash that sounded like a nice ride. I got stuck doing some yard work because it looked like rain, which never came. The deeper I got into my yard work, the bigger the project I was making. Needless to say, that went into Monday and I never got the scoot out. It looks like this weekend will be nice. I was invited on a trip to Memphis leaving on Thursday, but I think I'm going to finish some projects on Saturday and then ride on Sunday.
