The weather forecast as of today is looking good.
Just now (Tues evening) watched the local weather forecasts from ATL channels 11 and 46 and BOTH agree that the rain on Friday should be passing by the end of the evening on Friday and clearing for SAT morning at the Event!
Morning start at around 40 degrees and and by afternoon Mid- 50's ... not too bad for early DEC in this area!
I would make your plans to come ... the weather will be cool ... but a great Swap Meet outlook! Cheers ! CCR Dave

I have had a few calls today ... YES! ... this Event is definitely ON !! .... The rain on Friday (while we are LOADING UP our goodies) WILL end overnight Friday (ALL Local weather forecasters agree!) ...
A chilly Start near 40 degrees ... and then SUN-rise!! ... YES ... Sunny and Mid to Upper 50's by afternoon !! YAY !!
I know for a fact that we have folks coming from BOTH North and South Carolina, Florida, Alabama, Tennessee and of course:
all around GA !!
Since there has been such a "Drought" of Events like this ... and some Annual Events going into 2021 down here in the South, I hear are cancelled ... This should pull some pretty good numbers!! FYI >>> the NE GA Swap Meet ( http://negeorgiaswapmeet.com/ ) has been getting consistently record setting numbers each and every month this year ... it gains vendors and attendance, each and every month! (OUR Swap Meet is WITHIN this Larger Event !!)
Hope to see YOU here!! Cheers! CCR Dave

Looking forward to a big day! Got the van & trailer loaded with bikes, bike & automotive parts & other miscellaneous stuff! Hoping to see a lot of enthusiast from the Southeast! Freqman1, we'll be missing you, looking forward to your return, let your "crew" know if there's anything to be on the lookout for!
 
Great swap meet, Dave! COVID effected some of the turnout but lots of sellers with great bikes and parts. The weather was perfect! Happy holidays to everyone and let’s be safe out there so we can all gather for more vintage bike fun in 2021!!
Hello Jim! ... I agree 100% ... and a BIG Thank you for traveling all the way from the Charlotte area (3 Hours) to help make this so enjoyable and rewarding! Really thankful for the support ... and I believe you moved a few bikes out too! Cheers! Dave

Well, a lot of folks who said they would be there didn't show. All I can say is you missed out. I bought a good pile of stuff and sold a lot more than usual to the car show shoppers.
So true! ... and a BIG Thank you Joel and Alan, for making the 3-hrs + trip over from Birmingham, AL !! ... Yes we had some "New Shoppers" that strolled over from the "NE GA Swap Meet" and spent some money with us. As well as some folks, like Kent from Orlando FL, who traveled over 7 hrs. to purchase 3-4 bikes and some parts. I believe the spike in COVID-19 all over ... as well as the rainy day Friday kept some regulars away. But for those of us who took the risk ... it was a busy day and money was exchanging hands at a good rate! Cheers! Dave
 
Swap meet NOTES !! .... NEXT Year 2021 our 2 Events will be 1st SAT in MAY and 1st SAT in SEPT !!
