Default Lima Ohio swap meet?

Does anyone know if the Lima Ohio Corvette swap meet has been cancelled. This event has been put on by the Lima Corvette club for many years at the end of March but I haven't seen any ads this year.

It's scheduled for the 28th. Look on the web for the CORVETTE GLASS SOCIETY.... I'll be going to the fair grounds on Sunday after visiting relatives and friends on Sat - making it a "getaway weekend" for the wife and I.

I went two years ago with JCL. It was a good time. I only bought an interior screw kit and an assembly manual. But the meet is a good place to find just about anything.

Thanks for the update. It definitely is a great time and most any new or used part can be found!

I have not been to this event. Where is it held? indoor/outdoor?

The reason I ask, I have a brother who is a quadriplegic who is also a motorhead and we try to attend as many car shows/swap meets as possible.

I also have some pparts that I would like to trade locally because of size. I have my used windshield and qty.5 Firestone Wide Ovals (New) that are costly to ship. If I can make a trade at the Lima meet that would be great.

It's about a 3hr drive- Route 30(or 224) West to I-75, South to the Route 309 exit, then head east. Only 3 miles off of I-75 once on 309. Once on 309 heading east, it's Allen County Fairgrounds on the right. Large fairgrounds, can't miss it. Corvette corral outside(with about 15 cars)and also a corral inside with about 15 cars for sale. Two to three fairly large buildings with many vendors such as Penn-Ohio Corvette Parts, Tracy Perfromance, Keen Parts, many others. I've been going every year for the last 8 or so years. Usually manage to spend a $100 or so there every year. I look forward to going EVERY year. :yesnod:

Is this a Sat/Sun event? What are the hours?

Thanks,
