I plan on attending, who's going?

Joe's announcement:


30th Anniversary Fall Trexlertown Bicycle Swap Meet

Same weekend as the Velo Drome to make the weekend better than ever.

Event: 3 Day Bicycle Swap Meet, Trexlertown Fire Department Fairgrounds located behind the Fire station.

Location: 7723 Hamilton Blvd, Trexlertown, PA 18031

Date: Friday October 2nd, 3rd and 4th 2015.

1. Free spectator and general admission.

2. Friday October 2, 2015, Gates open at 4:00 PM. Which means please do not show up at the Trexlertown Fire Department Fairgrounds prior to 4:00 PM.

Why you ask? This gives everyone an equal opportunity for the big score.

3. Vendor spaces are 65.00 for 3 days, which includes 2 nights of camping.

4. Vendor spaces 50.00 for 2 days. 1 night of camping included.

5. Vendor space 25.00 for 1 day. If you are camping, that is considered 2 days.

Vendor Setup is Friday at 4:00 PM open to public at 4:00 PM

Saturday Oct 3rd, swap starts at daybreak. Free admission to spectators.

Sunday Oct 4th, swap starts at daybreak. Free admission to spectators.

Swap meet ends at 1:00pm. Everyone must exit the Fire Department fair grounds.

Why 1:00 pm you ask? The wonderful staff at the Fire Station need time off on the weekend.

I would like to remind everyone that the Trexlertown Fire Department is private property and everyone needs to respect their property and act accordingly.

Thinking of staying in a hotel here is a link to the local Trexlertown hotels. Hotels and motels fill up fast. Book early they fill up fast. There is always something happening in this area every year.

I plan on going, but I'm curious about when everyone plans to show up. Three days seems like a long time for a bike swap meet. I can usually figure out what I want to buy in a few hours. Plus I'll be at the Fall Carlisle automotive swap meet for a few days leading up to it. I would usually stay at Carlisle until Saturday around noon, then head over to T-town to meet the first few people showing up. Is everyone really going to get there Friday late in the day?
 
I'm gonna do my darnest to get there before everyone or the early arrivals roll in or set up on the 2nd. I'll assume there will be vendors rolling in on Friday and some Saturday. Lots of people have to work.
I for one, took the 1st (to travel) and the 2nd off for vacation to enjoy the the 3 day event.
That's the plan anyway.

I would love to go just because I've never been to it. I'm curious though, are the deals that good? With the exposure and number of buyers that attend, I would imagine it to be a sellers' market with the prices a bit inflated. Not that it matters, 7 hours one way in my truck is risky
 
There are some really good deals there. I am planning on going and setting up this year. Probably get there on Sat. morning though. I am coming down from Western NY, near Niagara Falls.
 
Just about ready to haul a small trailer load of bikes and parts down there. I will probably be getting there Fri. night..

I'm about an hour away and I have family nearby in Quakertown. I have to work Friday and plan on getting up there around noon Saturday. Dropping the girlfriend off to visit family and swinging over. I wish I had a truck... I do have a couple of bikes that I would like to sell without the worry of shipping and some parts as well. I wish I knew of this sooner.:20:
 
The girlfriend says weather this weekend doesn't look good!:mad:
 


I guess I'll have to bring a rain coat and my ez-up, I'll be showing up around 5am sunday

I was debating whether or not to make the 5 hour trip. Looks like I will probably hit the road sometime tomorrow morning, just a day later than planned. In better weather I would have been there today....

I've been cringing all week. Watching Accuweather go from good to bad to worse -then last night it started going the other way... We can only hope things clear out for the tomorrow...

Jeff, Did you go over there today?
 
What a huge disappointment... I loaded the trailer yesterday and had just about everything ready to go. THis morning I had to drive over to my other storage barn to get a few bikes and I stopped back by the house just before I was going to make the 5 hour trip and that was all she wrote. The fuel pump on the car bit the dust. Thought I might be able to change it and get on the road this afternoon but it started raining here so I am calling it a day and hoping to make it there next year...
 
I went there this morning. There were less than ten vendors set up but people were making deals. It didn't really rain too hard but there was a constant drizzle. The local weather report for tomorrow calls for warmer weather with just spotty showers. Hopefully there will be a better turnout tomorrow.
