Just saw where they are having an indoor swap meet in Columbia MO this Febuary.  Has anybody ever gone?  Is it worth attending?  I'm not too excited about driving 2 1/2 hours to see a bunch of Chevy parts.   ::)

I went last year.  It was OK, I spent a few dollars.  Don't think I saw a single Chebbie part.  It's a Mopar meet. 

It's not part of the swap but his year it looks like a few Rumble Bee owners are gettting together at Hooters with anyone else that shows up. 

I enjoy getting together with other Mopar minded people.  I drive about eight hours to get there but it gets me out of winter up here.  Lee

I think that there are two swap meets in Columbia, MO. The first one in Feb is the mopar only meet and then there's a regular swap meet later on. We're going to drive up there. Takes about seven hours one way. I may load up a few parts that I don't need. I'm almost sure that Gene Gregory will be there buying up some flat e-body hoods. I have a few of those to get out of my way.

MOPARHOUND!

RD, I went last year.  Take I-70 to exit #128 for US-63 North.  Go north to the exit for the Boone County Fair Grounds.  It is held indoors.

Last year had a few project cars and I'm guessing 60 vendors???  Took me about an hour and half to take it all in, but I then made 2 more rounds of the place, talking cars and parts with a lot of the vendors, and meet a couple of board members.  About a 2.5 hour drive from my house basically straight down I-70.  It was well worth it to me being a mopar nut wanting to get out in the winter months, spent 5 hours driving for 5 hours at a Mopar swap meet.
