My buddy does a lot of business with the owner, hard to come down on him for all of the tax bs. They have been coming down on them for years getting worse every year. Its not really anything new to get a swap meet space you've had to provide a tax id for years. It was only a matter of time before the 'man' put the screws to them.
I can however blame them for the high price of admissions but again some of that is probably due to all of the other bs
Hopefully this year is nice weather last 3-4 years its either poured or been over 100
