Just got back from Lindsay rain every day making the back end where I was muddy but we had a great time under the canopies. You seem to meet a lot more people when they come in for cover. Meet two long time Stirling venders on Sunday when they came to see what Lindsay was all about for themselves and signed up for next year. They tell me Stirling had a lot better weather for the weekend so that is one advantage of being so far apart on the same day. This year Lindsay grew over 140 vending spots filled with only 6 left as of Friday with a total of over 570 vending spots filled for the weekend. I was surprised of the number of venders leaving Barrie for Lindsay like the guy from North Bay beside me that I found also posts on this site. I thought I seen every thing at swap meets until Friday when Clarks Trucks came in with a gas pump display for sale. I mean the whole island  2 gas pumps the large Supertest  sign on the octagon pole and the big CONCRETE pad it all sat on.  Asking price $10,000. but it was a real nice display. 

I have to give AACA a pat on the back for the large  large 5 isle inside vending area was exceptional 95% automotive from beautifully restored gas pumps, a dozen cars for sale from Fawcett's 1911 Cadillac to a 65 Shelby, radios, gauge displays and everything in between. Thankfully no little old lady's with yard sale stuff but one guy selling maple syrup and another selling t shirts and I guess that is inevitable.    

  Looks like except for the rain and mud part all had a good time wherever they were Stirling or Lindsay.
