Pioneer Power Swap meet Le Sueur, Mn

Hi: Got there about 9:30am and parking field was about full already and by noon it was, plus well beyond. Mostly Sunny in AM but cloudy in PM. Likly rain showers later but I got out of there by mid afternoon since I found my most important items within first 5 minutes.. (finally lucked out) Only a few wet areas this morning but showers will quickly make mud since ground has not dried out with cold/wet Spring weather. but, still a Great place to checkout..

We got there early and left after 1pm. A nice day for the swap meet! A lot of stuff there!

I was there from 11:00 till about 3:30 Lots and lots of cool stuff to see. By being careful I came home with dry boots. That wont be possible tomorrow.
I bought lunch that was all. Wasn't much Ford stuff there though I liked the Red Rock booth.
I should bring a bunch of Blue stuff down there next year - see if it sells.

I was there from about 8:30-4:00. Managed to at least walk past everything and found a couple of good deals as well. Did anyone else see the 8N with a vise-grip for a battery cable clamp? I got a kick out of seeing that.

We attended from 10 oclock till about 3:30 in the afternoon. Likely one of the largest Swap Meet ever!! We walked and walked to view maybe 75% of the Site. Lots and lots of great items!!

I was there by about 10:20 and could find no place to park, so ended up parking on some small gravel road south of the east-west southern road. The sheriff's guys directing traffic were just shaking their heads in disbelief.

My brother was there for his first time, and a couple of other friends rode with me. We had a good time, and didn't spend too much, but did find some good pieces. I had never seen this event as big as yesterday. Maybe I saw less than 50% of the vendors before we left at about 5:00. Talked to one vendor who came from Omaha, another from Montanna, and some husband/wife from NY. Some prices seemed crazy high, and one guy justified his high prices by citing high gas costs and the cost of $45/vendor space. He didn't end up with any of my $$, even though I'd have bought a few pieces from him if he'd been reasonable.

I am always amazed at the amount of pure junk that some vendors drag in, and some of the hugely overloaded trailers they drag it in on. Thankfully there is a huge amount of good stuff, and a lot of good people to talk with, even if just a few brief comments.

By late afternoon, the cold damp wind had gotten to me, and I had to give up the search for a few things I really wanted to find. But all 4 of us came home with some items we really wanted to find. So we deemed it a successful day.
