I see that this is in a "NEW LOCATION" ...
Can you set-up & hang out in the parking lot Saturday night? ... Is there a big turnout / attendance? ... Will there be some of the same vendors that were at Kratefest in Sycamore. Il last week?

Tinker is leaving for Hershey, Penn. that day. So.....someone will have to take photos for the CABE.

I would assume that many of the same vendors at KrateFest will be there because it's the same geographical area; Google says 44 miles apart. (I'm wondering if this is the same meet that was in Carpentersville in previous years...?)

Same organizer. The Carpentersville swaps are usually in the spring. The fall swaps have been in various places. Addison, Villa Park, Bensenville, and now Algonquin. Never know what's going to show up .

I got there this morning between 9:30-10:00 or so. Didn't need a whole lot of time to look over everything as it did not seem like a huge turnout -- maybe a third the size of Kratefest? I did not see a lot of Hispanic sellers with BMX bikes, presumably due to the current political climate and the fact that we were much closer to Chicago than last month in Sycamore.

Nevertheless, the weather today is perfect for outdoor events, and I found enough items to make my trip worthwhile.

One totally unrelated problem that I am still scratching my head about: Plugging into Google Maps the street address of 2451 South Randall Road in Algonquin brought me to an area just north of Harnish Drive where there was clearly no "America's Antique Mall - Algonquin" to be seen. For lack of a better idea, I then plugged in "America's Antique Mall" as my destination, by name instead of by address, and that then came up (correctly) as 2.2 miles south of where I was on Randall Road. That is also shown as 2451 S Randall Road in Algonquin on the website, so now I don't know what to believe.

Here are some pics. Also it was great to meet Bob who came all the way from Kentucky for the show. I Just had hoped to see a few more vendors.
