Thomas the information I have is that it is on the 3rd and 4th of February at the Kansas Colleseum. That is on Friday and Saturday. I will probably go down for one day, but don't know which one yet. I have gone down with some guys from here in the past, but you would be welcome to tag along if you want to come this far.

I've been going to this swapmeet for years. Always some real good deals. And pretty fun to boot.

Didn't we kinda go as a group last year?... I think I bought a truck, and spent way too much on other parts and stuff... it was fun... We met at Spangles first --- Maybe we would like to do the same this year? :-)

My two cents is to also have a place to meet up with KS Chapter folks on the swap meet grounds around noon on each day, so if we aren't able to meet at the breakfast or we are at the meet on the other day we could still see who is there. Last year I wasn't able to come to the breakfast, but would have still liked to have had a chance to see some of the FTE'ers that were there.

Maybe we could meet near one of the concessions at noon each day.

Is this one of those "we have a little bit of everything (auto related) swap meets" or do they specialize in specific years?

They had everything if I remember correctly -stuff for antique cars... Mods.. Parts... I think Husker bought an airconditioning system for his '50's... There was some junk.. but allot of good stuff too. It was the biggest one I had ever been to... but I hadn't been to too many.

I go every year. They mostly have parts for older vehicles but you can find something for just about anything. A lot of junk, a lot rip offs, and a lot of good deals.
