After being closed for 2015 season, then pricing themselves out of the market
in early 2016, along with competition from the same last Sunday of the month
swap meet at New England Dragway. This resulted in far fewer vendors and
small crowds.
Their solution to this problem was to schedule their show on the second Sunday
of the month. The dates for 2017 are Sunday; May 14th, June 11th, July 9th,
August 13th, September 10th, and October 8th.
The May 14th meet was a total rain-out with torrential downpours. The June
11th meet was a beautiful morning with a very small crowd. The root of the
problem is that the small amount of vendors is keeping the crowds down. They
probably have less than 20 percent of the vendors than used to be the case.
In my humble opinion they need to drastically reduce the cost to the vendors
in order to jump-start the show. They are being penny wise and pound-foolish
at this point in time. This is not only my opinion as I have heard this from
many folks who echo the same thoughts
They now have a website. Visit
