Skips Swap Meet

I was wondering how many folks will be attending Skips swap meet from FTE? First swap is Feb. 21. I usually vend out there and was hoping to meet some fellow forum members.

Here's the website for it Home

It's located at thenew Lake Co. Fairgrounds.

It's really hard to say what will be out there. It just depends on what vendors bring with them. We usually bring a good mix of Ford truck and HiPo parts with us. Hope to see some new faces out there from FTE!
