New Board for SHOWS and Swaps

[Harry]

Announcements, reviews, photos, movies and discussion about antique engine and tractor shows and swaps.

These events surround several of our boards so I thought it to be important that it have its own section on our site. Whether this will work or not is up to you. It might eliminate the need for double posting an event.

Can we get more accurate address's for the shows? I would like to go to the Smithburg WV show but do not want to drive 3 hours and not be able to find it.. Ether Proper Address or a GPS position would be great.. Should be required for ALL events for those of us whom have never been to that event before.. Then I could just plug it into GPS and go..

How can I find out about Northern California shows, specifically around Sacramento?

bob......you'll have to find them via your favorite search engine.

If someone promoting a show doesn't use the great, free, service provided here nothing will show up here.......

Would you believe that a lot of show and swap posts don't include a city or state, let alone how to find it. I guess I need better data entry software that makes them fill in the form, but in the meantime, I moderate, edit and manually approve all entries. Everyone "knows" where THEIR show is and they think that everyone else does too. Also, I SPELL OUT the name of the state as postal abbreviations might be meaningless to folks in other countries.

Hi from Le Sueur, Minnesota home of the 2014 Pioneer Power Swap Meet. For those of you concerned about the weather and grounds conditions today was beautiful, sunny and 60 degrees. This week temperatures in the 60-70 range which should improve the grounds and parking area with excellent drying conditions. So make plans to attend the swap meet the end of April. It will be a great time as usual.
