I'm sure most are already aware of this upcoming big annual Ozarks Antique Auto Club Swap Meet being held Friday August 22nd - Sunday August 24th, but in case you haven't, here's your invite. It's their 58th Annual Swap Meet and should be another great event.
I'm currently aware of at least 3 MBA 'Bolters planning on attending at least some of those days. I'm planning on attending Friday and Saturday as well as KCMongo and Shakey61.
Any other MBA 'Bolters planning on attending??? It would be a great chance to meet and greet. So if you're planning on going let us know and we'll see what we can do about that.

Nathan, From what I understand it is super big and you need more than one day to see it all.. There is no way I will be able to attend this year, it’s on my bucket list for next year though.

I'll have to find out from Steve (KCMongo) which sellers spot we will be occupying and post it here before the swap meet.
Looking forward to seeing Millenimech and anyone else that can find their way there.
Nathan - As Don said, it is one of the biggest swap meets in our area. 58th Annual. The current as of yesterday "Outdoor Space" map below kinda gives an indication on how many spaces they have, not including the indoor buildings and car sales corral. The only spots not already taken are those shown in GREEN, so that should give you an idea of just how many vendors are going to be there. I know it's a longer trek for you, but IMHO, well worth the time and effort if you can.

I plan on coming up on Saturday since I've never been. As silly of a question as it sounds, is there a good selection of older stuff? I'm thinking 46 and older.
Daniel - As far as I know, from what others have said as this will be my 1st time too, there is usually tons of stuff for the earlier trucks. I hope we get a chance to meet up on Saturday! I'm still working on getting KCMongo's sales spot number to post, but when I met with him yesterday he's plans on bringing and raising our "Stovebolt" flag as a beacon for any Bolters to see.

My wife and I will be there Saturday. Sure would like to get there on Friday, but work says otherwise, never seem to be able to do that. We ran in to oldieoldie last year while we we having some lunch, had a really nice conversation. Hope to see you guys there.
It's their 58th Annual Swap Meet and should be another great event.
