Default Just a question about swap meets.

I would say Carlisle, PA. One could spend a couple of days there.

I went to Carlisle last year for the first time. I spent a full day, which was not near enough to see it all.

77-

I'm the event manager for Corvettes at Carlisle. I've been to plenty of Corvette events around the country. I assure you Corvettes at Carlisle has the largest vendor base of any other Corvette event out there. We have approximately 3500 vendor spaces sold at our event (that's more than 1200 vendors). The event will be held this weekend: Aug. 24-26, 2007. We also have a very large sponsorship midway & installers alley with some incredible manufactures coming to the event. I could go on & on...

Here's a list of our vendor base for your records: click here.

Hope to see you at the event!

Just one biased opinion from a dedicated employee at Carlisle Events...

Regards,

Lance

Anyone who is into Vettes should see this show. It's truly unbelievable.
