That is the south pasture, not around the buildings. Stop by and say howdy. | | | | | Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 7,440 Bolter | | Bolter Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 7,440 | Hey Cletis, how many acres does the swap meet encompass? We went to the Chickasha meet for the first time this year and it is about 10 acres. We were worn out just walking that. Trying to convince Ms Kathy we need to take a road trip other than our monthly Mom visit to Mena, Ar. Need to find a set of running boards for the '37 Olds.

And the likelihood of finding the running boards is high. This is the first meet of the season and it is a big one. Vendors come from all over. Decatur Swap Meet. Come on down.

If the "Stovebolt" clan is coming on Friday, that may be our day. We'll see.

Do any of you know if they allow electric scooters or if it is large enough to need one. I go to Pate meet at Texas Speedway & have found the scooter much needed. Any info would be appreciated, I tried to call phone number for meet but could not get answer...Thanks to all | | | | | Joined: May 2001 Posts: 7,438 Extreme Gabster | | Extreme Gabster Joined: May 2001 Posts: 7,438 | Yes, they allow electric scooters. They even allow gasoline 4 wheelers and some idiots allow their children to run around in them.

My friend Renae & myself really enjoyed walking around & looking at everything. She had never been to a swap meet, so Decatur was her first. She loves cars so that's why she wanted to go. Would like to have lit up a cigar with ya. Maybe next year!?!
