Who has info on this. ?
All I can find is Nov 1-3 car show.
 
A lot going on in central Florida from October through November.

* Mopars at the Beach - Daytona - Cruise, show & race at Orlando, FL (No swap listed.) 1st weekend of October
* Mopars at Big Daddys - Ocala, FL First weekend of November
* Turkey Rod Run - Daytona Speedway - Thanksgiving weekend

* Might check out a local show at Mopars at the Beach.

* I'll be at Big Daddys.

* Turkey Rod Run has little Mopar oriented stuff & got too expensive many years ago despite being local.

So if anybody is coming down and needs any parts I advertise.......:)

Garlits always has a swap meet. A friend lined up a couple of spaces for us.
 
Garlits has always had a swap meet.
 
We live close enough now to try to attend. Not sure if we have enough stuff for a spot but may bring some in the truck if someone commits beforehand ! I'll have to list up what we have. Thanks maybe see ya there !

There's plenty of room for vendors there.
 
...and here I am again...already late to start packing stuff on the trailer.

Well, there was a weather issue or two this year...

First show not within a few weeks of the horse park show, right?

How was the turnout both spectator and vendor?
 
I've been there a few times over the last few years but not last year. For me it was the slowest I've seen in swap meet traffic and it seemed to have less vendors/sellers. May have been due to the 2 recent hurricanes that went through Florida, the economy & elections. I expect next year to pick back up. Had good neighbors - Rat Rod Al & moparmarkk.

Weather was pretty good - Friday was nice but I got there late, Saturday was warm, clear to partly cloudy and sprinkles threatening after lunch on Sunday.
 
I thought it was OK. Not like it used to be. Met a few FABO members. Hopefully next year it will improve. I was just there on Sat. On the way home my truck had issues with flooding, so did not come back on Sun.

1 notch & 1 FB the FB was a much nicer car. IMO.

Every time I left my vending spot I Noticed there were always a bunch of guys at my spot. I guess that last pic may explain it ! Looks like "T" had a Side Hustle going !!!
(read the sign behind her) :lol: :poke:
 
Thanks.
Looks like a fairly "normal" turnout.
Maybe a just a tad light.
Your wife is cute :thumbsup:
