DEALER TABLES ARE GOING FAST!

We always have tons of space outside, as long as the weather's good, so give Fred a call if you want to set up outside on SUNDAY ONLY!

Tons of new dealers, and our regular dealers will have tons of new merch, so plan to attend! It's going to be a great show!

Early bird admission gets in at 7am, with complimentary coffee and donuts!

Early Bird Buyers Admission on Sunday morning, from 7-9am, is just $10. You'll get first pick when the dealers are still setting up, and free donuts and coffee while they last!

There are several SUNDAY ONLY dealers inside who do NOT set up on Saturday, PLUS the outside dealers only set up on Sunday morning, so there's plenty of fresh merch to choose from for Sunday's Early Bird buyers!

Saturday Oct. 19 is for dealers only. Sorry, no public early bird admission on Saturday. You must have a dealer contract.

There are always plenty of outside spaces available (weather permitting). Most years the day is nice enough, and we have several outside dealers. Even if it's cold, there are always a few hardy souls who set up out there. Keep your fingers and toes crossed for sunshine this year.
