Looking forward to seeing who shows up this year! I can definitely understand the frustration DynaBro. Hope you get it all sorted out!

Is the swap meet open on Thursday (like the Nats and Carlisle)? I'd like to know before booking a room.

Thanks

I believe it is setup only, but I would recommend calling but as stated earlier communication appears to be lacking at quick responses

Still waiting for a reply from my email to them yesterday. I just thought I'd ask here too.

Thanks

Nothing to sort out, friend. Not going. Not spending my money with someone that treats me like some kind of idiot.

Saw a couple of fantastic cars recently in Stillwater. A black 2nd gen HEMI Charger a few weeks back and his sons were driving a red Challenger T/A. Asked to see the fender tag, which he was happy to do, but didn't know how to read it himself. Must have some serious money in the bank not to care! Said those were 2 of the 8 MOPARS he has. Would love to see the rest.

And today a green HEMI Cuda. Didn't get a chance to talk to the driver as we were passing on the Harleys but it was niiiiiiiice. Someone who knows people around here should put together a smaller mid summer show for local guys somewhere along the Great River Road, at a VFW or something with a big lot that's easy to work with. All I wanted to do at MOPARS in the Park was park my car and walk around. But nooooo they can't address that option on the website, can't even post the price for that until you show up at the gate? The whole thing is just.... I'll stop now.

I really like that idea I would be up for it my wife and I drive the Great River Road for our anniversary in early October otherwise my weekends are usually car show free

Weather looks fantastic for the weekend

So excited we showed up a day early to explore some bike trails

Going back to Stillwater , really liked the town for walking and biking , food and drinks on the river

Might head to some parks

Then to Farmington tomorrow for some Mopars and Sun

Does anybody have any idea on prices for swap spaces at the gate?
I need to get several spaces and want to make sure i have enough cash on me when i get there.

You may be blaming the wrong people. They more than likely sent it out when they said they did. My bet is on the USPS being the culprit here with the mis handling that goes on there. You may end up getting it for Christmas if at all. My neighbor got a Christmas card back last month that he mailed to his Niece 60 miles away in December of 2023.
I think I received my wrist bands about a week or so after I sent it in. Not so lucky with other mail though.

This is the first time I’ve had the GTX on a trailer in 25 years. I ran it to Farmington and parked it in the Black Cars Matter display, and picked up a buddy whose Sport Fury is in the winners circle. Be sure to stop and say hello if you’re going through building 22…

My issue is not that it did not arrive, it's how I was treated after the fact when attempting to remedy it.

If any of you guys do a drive to Prescott or Stillwater @ me. I'll probably roll out for a beer or whatever. Especially Bari or any of the 70 Super Bee guys.

After two days in Stillwater on Wed/Th - Biking / Walking / Eating
Nice area on the St.Croix
Also spent some time at Minnehaha Park doing the same on Thursday

Man , so happy the show it’s back in Farmington

The vibe was just awesome

What a beautiful area and park

All the shade , no mud , did rain on Wed/Th

Friday was nice , cool cloudy great for walking - Saturday was just picture perfect

Great facility , bathrooms where very clean and huge - Great volunteers working

I saw everyone camping , looked packed

I know the A Bodies did a meet and greet on Saturday - Maybe the B Bodies could do something similiar ?

Looked like a great turnout from what I saw

Talked with two new owners of 1971 Superbees - Six Pack cars

Man I don’t see I snapped the A4 Gunmetal Gray one , Auto on the column

Two stories with those cars - EBay and Mecuum

Black Sheep I stopped a few times by your car on Saturday but did not get a chance to talk

Of course the phone stayed in my truck for the most part , walk walk sit talk walk walk

Anyways a few 71 s

It was a great show, great Mopar people. I am going back out for an hour or so before heading towards home. Fred brought his custom model A truck and served us up lunch. Keith and Kim filled in with potato salad, chips, and treats.
