Carlisle
I was told there was a record breaking amount of cars this year. 4 of the venders around me told me Saturday that they will not be back next year. If I was told right, there was 2,700 cars in the fun field. I know we will not be back next year selling parts. The people that told me that they will not be back have been going there 15 plus years.
I do agree with Cawley on this post here he wrote.... and I agree with this 100%!! My brother and I were highly disappointed in vending/swap meet area, as for us, it was definately a bad year for selling parts, etc. This was the worst I have personally seen it, in many year's. There were people walking down the lanes, but not many stopping to look at stuff. I do think the walk through the gate people, was way down, as to just about 2-3 years ago, I heard the gate entrances had more than 45,000 people through them then, not this year in my opinion. We did end up in the negative for certain, still have not figured everything up yet, still working on that part. So, after driving 650 miles x2, and all the fuel it takes, food to eat everyday, we just cannot do this very often, as it really takes a toll on both of us!! I'll just say this, we will probably try 1 more year in 2017, and see what happens, another year like this one, it WILL be our last for sure. We can just work in our own four walls doing resto work, and not worry about all that wrote above. We don't cry about thing's, just stating real life fact's!! Anyway's.... we did enjoy our time with FABO members, 61dartrk, cudacrazy67, Woody, red67gts, MoparMitch, Philllyc, our buddy Zach from S.C. and many others. We really did enjoy our time with you all, especially when Philllyc went and bought pizza for all, and you to MoparMitch, for coming down to our camp on Fri night, and shooting the breeze, and talking about life, and many other thing's, as Philllyc and Mitch kept plenty of laughter going for the evening!! Thank you guy's for at least a happier Chryslers at Carlisle show!!!! Jeff & Jerry
