Lindsay is a true automotive swap meet run by AACA the same club that brings you Hershey. With the first year of 45 years at the Orono fair grounds and then moving about six times growing slowly now at Lindsay. Call 1-705-760-6564 to register to sell and Lindsay is not a bring what ever you want to sell as they question what you are selling before you register.  With over 600 vending sites with the automotive format for registration they are defiantly the larges swap meet east of Toronto. Plus a car show Sat. & Sun. that brings in over 500 cars and a car coral with around a 100 cars. They have a very large mixture of automotive from early teens to performance to memorabilia. At registration last year Lindsay changed their date one week earlier and I am told they are now going back to that date next year.

I'm thinking of giving Lindsay a go this year (weather permitting) .... never been before (and it's closer than Stirling).

Having never been to either of these swap meets, which is the larger of the two?

What would you say either show caters to most - old stuff or muscle car era?

Why would they hold these on the same weekend when they're so near each other?

   best guess, follow the money, it was a business decision, best guess. the closer they got to the g.t.a. and the horse shoe, the more people in a much bigger venue.  if you build it they will come.

   the same date is everybody's guess.
