I had a bad weekend and didn't get my parts selected or trailer loaded.

If I go I'll likely be a spectator.

Is this all Mopar Show? Because this has got confusing. There is also another show the following weekend.
Which has the better Swap Meet?

This one by a mile. This is a true Two full day show. 100% Mopar Show.

I'll probably go to this one. Only a 4 hour drive or so. Had no idea this even existed so thanks for the heads up OP.

I went Friday and bought a few parts. Then decided to bring some parts to sell today. and made a few bucks. But after 2 pm, It looked like a ghost town and many vendors were loading up to leave. I'll be going to the Mopar show and swap meet at the Florida horse park next weekend as well. I hope it's better?

I don't know why they couldn't have just worked their differences out. It was a great show for many years.

I was planning a trip to the Garlits show next year. Was Weather a factor in the turnout ?

The weather was nice. Cool in the morning and warm later on. Partly cloudy with a nice breeze from the east that brought in a tiny bit of drizzle. So I don't think the weather was a factor in the turn out. I took a few pictures of the swap meet area, but none of the show car area. Maybe someone else can post a few?

Conflicting reports on turnout on FABO vs FBBO.

A couple of A body guys said turnout was good.

They also said there is a new schedule for next year splitting the shows up by a few months.

That's good news.

For the record, 87 degrees Saturday.

Light sprinkle of rain Sat about 20 min and another on Sunday.

That's where I was. Ocala might have been 5 degrees cooler and no tellin' about the rain but likely similar- easy to work around.

Never sure of what you're gonna get in FL November.

I've been to that show in almost 100 degrees and also been in almost 32 degrees.
