The swap meet that used to be at the Gibraltar Trade Centre near Detroit and was held in January got moved and was held yesterday. I knew there was a change of venue but didn't realize it got moved up a month. Or is there another one somewhere in January?

I think @MoparDave  was set up there.  Looked like they had a huge booth.  Not sure if it is the same one.   :notsure:

Likely the same one. He had a huge display at the old location. Surprised he never mentioned it here.

There will Not be another January WPC swap meet. Unfortunately that location as in Gibraltar closed and we were forced to move locations and date. Difficult thing to do when you have held that swap meet the same time of year for 35+ years. I should have posted this here and the others but. I've been extremely busy at the dealership and running the swap meet. Just cant think of everything all at once. Yep it sucks moving the date for sure. The location is great and we use to set there from 2005 to 2009.
Reason I know this and the club as I'm a past president that has pushed this swap meet to what it is . We had 520 tables and sold out in normal fashion.

Next years winter show will be same place same time. December 9th 2018.  the really crap part is 2019 and 2020 for future planning is jacked as we have NO dates available as the college is booked. With the holidays being pushed up makes it bad. So I have a little time but not much to figure that one out.

I knew it was coming but that was my wife's 50th birthday . . . I just couldn't bring myself to say "honey I'm going to a swap meet today"!

Anyone can add stuff to the calendar.  We all have the moderator power to make additions to the calendar.   :bigthumb:  But if you have a link and all the details I would be happy to do it.

What would your sales be just for that one day, just out of curiosity ? $10,000 ?
