| - You want it...they usually have it!
This swap meet is probably one of the biggest I've been to. Not as big as the ones I'd hit in California, but for sure the biggest out here. You name it and this swap meet probably has it. Or, at least they know someone that has it. I remember when I first moved out here, someone selling water gave me advice about finding the right Realtor agent to buy a house. I didn't use them, but hey it's the thought that counts.
An outdoor swap meet, this one is a mix between vendors and your garage sale type sellers. From the outside this place looks average sized, but once you're in it can be a beast to get through every aisle. You will find your mix of different merchandise ranging from household products to tools, electronics to toys, and a bunch of clothing. This swap meet also has a bunch of eats. There's a small admision here, ranging from $.50 to $2. Not sure what the exact admission really is. My last 3 visits, I paid for myself and whoever is behind me (stranger or not).
One issue here is parking. Don't get me wrong. There's tons of parking, just a lot more people. My advice, get here around 8 AM or after 2 PM. Come here around noon and you'll spend the next 30 minutes driving around looking for that empty spot.
My other problem is that I never buy anything that I am looking for. However, I always leave with something I don't need.
TIP: Looking to lose a few pounds over the summer??? Then come here during the middle of the day, preferably mid-July.
110 degree temperature with no shade equals Bikram Shopping.
