MSG2 Spring Swap Meet

[Keith_Indy]

When is a good date for everyone to gather for a swap meet this month?

Keep in mind the 24th is Easter, otherwise I don't think there are any conflicting dates.

We could probably do it in the same location as the last swap meet. Although we might want to consider alternate locations.

Makes no difference to me. Same location would work as well.

For me same location would be fine. Id prefer the 9th, but really anything other than the 23rd. That's the day of the Chop IN.

9th or the 30th work best for me. Same location is fine as well.

30th

Okay, this is a stupid question, but where was the last swap meet?

It was in a park near New Palestine, if I recall it correctly. SE of Indianapolis, in Hancock County, anyway.

 

[hotfarmboy1]

Any decision on the date and time yet?

 

[Keith_Indy]

Looks like the day is April 30th. I could use someone to figure out how to reserve the park shelter/pavillion and that may determine when the swap meet will happen.

You wouldn't happen to be talking about Camp Sertoma?

 

[Steve]

If we are going to use the same park and shelter, there are no reservations. needed. They don't take them. Just "squatters rights". Based on the last swap meet, I would suggest that one brings tables and chairs to use as the few that are there get taken quickly.

The location of the last one was just south of St Rd 52 and Co Rd 700 W on the left side of 700 W. If needed, I can post better directions later.

The Round-About address is:

4139-4221 S 700 W
New Palestine, IN 46163

You will want to get on US 52/Brookville Rd. heading East to New Palestine
Most people will do this from I465

Drive east on US 52 for approx. 6 miles.

Turn right at 700W

Head South on 700W for about 1/2 mile and the park will be on your left.

Really it is a grass field with a pavilion, playground and a walking path.

Hope this helps.

i have a couple fold up tables that I could bring, but depending on how much gear I load up to bring, i might not have room for them. so if you wanted to pick them up in your truck the next time your out my way that would be cool. up to you. you've got my digits.

 

[Blackhawk2001]

I've got a couple tables I can bring as well.

 

[jsx1043]

One table here.

Also, there is permanent charcoal park grill next to the shelterhouse. We had hot dogs last time. It's BYO charcoal...dunno if anybody feels like grilling...

Is Steve going to bring that big box of half-prices Buck knives again?
