March 9, 2008 13th Annual SWAP Meet
This years auto parts swap meet was held at Tom Henry Chevrolet, in Bakerstown, Pa. on Mar. 9, 2008. This was the clubs 13th annual swap meet. This is a great opportunity for our chapter members to get rid of some unneeded parts and turn them into money. We actually had 9 chapter members and 13 other vendors scheduled to sell at the swap. Several of our members shared a vendor space, which is free. That’s a good way to do it if you don’t have a lot to sell. Also, you’ll have a buddy to talk corvettes with all day.
This year we ran into bad weather and bad weather forecasts. This forced 6 vendors not to show up, and our count through the gate was way down. But, after speaking to several vendors, apparently they were happy with their sales for the day and they will be back next year.
A great deal of thanks goes to Tom Henry for providing us with a nice venue and warm hospitality, and also tables, chairs, a coffee machine, and much more. As chairman of the event, I would like to thank the guys who helped me on Saturday and the many chapter members who gave up their Sunday to help run the meet. And, a special thanks to the ladies in food service, Patty Gilbert, Judy Geary, Linda Neffield, Madie Henderson, and Bridgette Kitch. Your help was appreciated and the homemade cookies were delicious.
We hope to see more of you at the meet next year. Please visit the event photo gallery page for pictures of the event.
