John,

I just found a website that says it's just a swap meet.

Hmmm....never heard of it? Hopefully someone here has gone and will tell us what its like.

Mike...........

I don't recall seeing this meet either.

It is the first one listed for the local New England shows on Bell's home page.

Here's the link to the list.

Also, the Belltown show is April 28. Went last year for the first time and it was pretty good. There were quite a few Wheel Horse guys there plus all the other fun stuff with lots of shopping and plenty of room to cruise around.

Haven't heard of that show.

 

Not sure if I'm doing Belltown or Zagray, but don't think I can make it to both.

Just a bump to check if anyone on here as actually ever been to this show before.

LOL! It’s been 9 years and you still haven’t gone 

[wallfish 17,078]

Yeah, get'n some cabin fever so looking to get out earlier this year! Figured after 9 years maybe someone actually went there. It's not too far so I'll probably take a ride down to check it out.

  So John and I went to this one today. There is great potential, meaning there is plenty of room for vendors and for parking. Unfortunately there were maybe 20 vendors set up. We cruised thru it in 45 minutes. There was a WH for sale.., but I need another one like I need another hole in my head right now

A C-160 for $100 which certainly ain't a bad find. Back in the day this would've been a no-brainer buy in a heart beat!!!! I've paid that much for just an 8 speed 1/8 axle trans. After many years, many tractors, many parts, many of too much stuff, we need to pick our battles.

  ( And still reminiscing about one of us still should've bought it,  LoL)
