It was small. The weather,, I think really hurt it. It rained lightly on and off while I was there. After I left I thought I should have taken a few pictures . In my opinion they are going to have to change the date. It always rains on May 2-4 weekend. I would say there was about 60 vendors but I'm guessing at that.. If they ever get some decent weather it should catch on. It really is a good spot for a swap meet. It's just off the 402, has lots of room for vendors and shoppers. Had a large group serving food. They had several people helping in the parking lot. TMJ
Like a guy here in Caledonia. Ran a local car show and swap meet on the first weekend in May. Out of his 13 years only had 3 years where the weather didn't affect it.
The Talbotville swap meet or the one south of London was on the Father's Day weekend. Only once did it rain when I went,we need a BIG swap meet like that in our area again.

You are correct John. That's why I try to support it. I'm in the area so it makes sense for me. If it doesn't get support it will never make it.
Look how Lambeth turned out. I remember going there in the early days with a car trailer full of stuff and there was no problem getting a spot
