It won't be raining according to the current weather report. Might keep the traffic more manageable. Hope everyone can make it. $5 a person and show cars park in a designated area. Stuff come out of the woodwork here.
 
Looks like a repeat of last year, sunny, t-shirt weather, no wind, lots of vendors. Brings parts and money.

Good day at Fitchburg, Mass!! Frank Miller, his Dad, and all their EFV8 Club RG members do a great job putting this swap meet and car show together each year. Met up with 7-8 Fordbarn members while walking around.

Good swap meet/show. Nice sunny day. Lots of people. Mostly all car parts, and lots of them. Hardly any flea market stuff. Saw a lot of cars I haven't seen on the south shore. Didn't find anything I needed, so it was a cheap trip.
 
Just got home! Well worth the ride. Great stuff for sale and good friends. Also lots of cool cars. Great Day!
 
John mentioned me and my dad but I would like to say we have a number of volunteers, probably between 30 and 40, who work their asses off for a period of time. Some the whole day and others a few hours but it all comes together. We have an excellent rapport with the airport and that is partly due to the spectators who come in respecting the property. Miraculously there were no traffic jams this year but attendance was not off by much from last year. People seemed to stay longer, which meant they were enjoying the show. Some stayed too long as the last vendor did not leave until 3. Much thanks to all those who attended and the weather gods for smiling on our day.

You can always tell when it's done right! Thanks to all!
 
The EV8 club did a great job this year, and as always. My theory about the weather is that just a little later in April, like this year and last resulted in great weather vs past years of snow, rain, and a chilly wind. Those years if I recall were a week or so earlier in April.

Depending on Easter our date is the next to the last Sunday in April. Normally it would be the third, which this year so 80 degree temps, but due to bad weather we made that small change. Of course I've seen some days in January that were nicer than anything in April. And that is New England.
 
I had great time!! Got good stuff and managed to leave without anything I didn't need. I was looking for JM but couldn't find him...... No long line of women to give his whereabouts away?!?!?!?...... Mark
