We attended yesterday, and although it's still nice to get up there, I agree with the guy who said there's less car parts these days and more wallets/trinkets/crap.
Also, I'm sad to say that I think that eBay has killed that Swap Meet. Every time I heard someone mention that website I wanted to puke. It makes you feel like you should sit at home and look up their inventory on the auction page. Aside from that, it was still fun to look around at all of the stuff for sale. Everyone was packing up at the end of the day though, so I felt bad for anyone who was planning on attending Sunday!
