Default 2025 Pate Swap Meet. Who went and how is/was it???

For only the 4th time since 1987 I will miss the Pate swap Meet. For those of you who are there How is it? Lots of vendors? Weatherholding out for you?

Seems like last year there were a lot of vendors, but I also noticed the trend of vendor spaces being used only to park inside the swap meet area. Still was a lot to see but if that continues it will be the Pate Parking lot instead of swap meet.


Let us know how it is this year, and pictures are always welcome.

Thanks
Todd

Was a good meet. Massive in size, the parking in the vendor area was the same.

I got there on Wednesday morning to set up. From what I could tell it was very well-attended and lots of vendors. I know there were folks there from Belgium, Sweden, Germany, Canada, Australia, and Mexico City, and I'm sure other countries as well. We got hammered by rain twice during the day on Thursday and everyone ran for cover until it was over, but it didn't seem to deter serious buyers. I had mostly Model A parts to sell although they didn't sell as well as I had hoped. Overall it was a great swap meet.

I did not go but heard there was a very nice 29 pick up in the car corral.
