All the parks down in Florida are open. Sooner or later, these dem governors are going to be forced into submission on some of this stuff. At least we can hope so anyway. 

Waltz does not give a rat ass what Florida and the sorrunding states are doing.

No fuckin way would I be driving all that way, for that shit. 

There was a bunch of different people in Michigan talking about trying to do a Haydays in Michigan for a few years. Nothing ever happened. I find it funny that there isn’t something like that around this state. They use to have a few outdoor shoes but nothing on the scale of Haydays and there are a lot of people that ride in this state. Shouldn’t be a problem to get decent attendance numbers.

I went to Nelsons deal a few times. When they had the snow  that was buried in the woods, Grass drags too. Fun in its time

Every time I hear Normans name I cringe and replay, in my head,  the bad accident he had on his open mod! OUCH!

Want mine? I'm cleanin house!

Thanks, but then I'd just have more stuff to get rid of. 2 weeks ago I got rid of my cooler, hoses and pump from my grass drag cool down cart. Last used in 1996 or so. Just turned the homemade cart itself into a yard card yesterday. All in my garage attic untouched since 96.

I hope it works out.  They were still sending reminders to previous years vendors last year to get their deposits in to guarantee their sights just days before they "postponed" the event.  They did not refund the deposits because the event was not "canceled" but "postponed'

And I’ll bet a LARGE amount of those vendors take them up on it. Haydays is a cash cow. I’ve watched people be a vendor there just to break even year after year for the exposure and to move a bunch of product only.

The guys I know each take 4spots min. for the swap meet and also have campers.  They are always charged for camping and I don't know how long ago but also get charged per foot for the size of campers.  I hope everything does come together and Haydays happens, it brings a lot of enthusiasm for the coming season.  On the flip size they also went to some of the more local ones that poped up and sold just as much product and made out better for the bottom line.  They are guys that have good inventory of quality used and NOS parts.  I'm sure the aftermarket guys have different outlook.

I've a good deal of friends that are regulars at that one... but again, not this year.

Another really fun 50's traditional show that's off most peoples radar is in Symco WI

Luckily, Wisco is less nanny-state than MN
