Just cusrious to see if anyone is going to the Albany, OR swap meet Nov 16th? I went for the first time last year, a great meet and I bought quite a few things I was looking for! I'll be heading down again this year

I've gone for the past 8 years and plan to be there again this year. It's a long drive for me , but it's a great swap meet. It' no short trip from Spokane either.

No, about a 7 hour drive...but this time of year there is not a whole lot going on so it's something I look forward to.

It's about 10 hrs for me. I meet my old school buddy at Albany and we swap lies and talk cars for a couple of days. It's the "boys getaway". The good part is the meet is mostly indoors.

Thanks for the heads up, I am just an hour away and have never been.

I went to the Portland swap in April and it took me two days to recover. Would love to go to Albany, but it's just a little too far. I hope you guys that do go find what you want for a good price.

I will be going again. About an hour and a half from Toledo.

Unless they have changed the opening time, the gates open at 8:00am. No need to be there at O'dark Thirty. They sell the entry tickets early ,so you buy the ticket and then wait in line. The line goes fast once they open the gate.

I like the Albany swap meet because it is an indoor swap and at this time of year that is great.

Yes, it is by far the most "strict" swapmeet I've been too. Your not even allowed to buy/sell on set up day (Friday) and I witnessed then guys in the orange coats patrolling!

Hi all; I will be selling in the dirt arena, West wall. The stalls have been shifted to only a 10' front [old was 20'] so we'll see if it works. Why they make it rougher on vendors everywhere now? Greed. Anyway, Chris and all say HI. Newc

Oh yes, great swap meet and just up the road. I'll be there.
