<VV> Carlisle Events (No corvair)

[corvairs]

All part of the changing landscape in this hobby. Swap meets in general 
are becoming less important all the time. Not just with car shows, but 
also antiques and collectibles (Linda's hobby-business) and other 
things. Attendance at many of these events is still good, but the 
selling by the vendors is not, and hasn't been for some time.  The 
events have greatly become social gatherings (good) with a chance to 
"look at", but not buy, all sorts of neat things. (Not  good) More like 
a visit to the local museum than a swap meet.   Lon
