Band Chatter Page 3 March 2017 Hello Tin Lizzies, We have our first outing of the year on Sat. 3-25-2017. We will meet at the Brunner Ranch at 9am, and at 10am we will ramble over to the crawfish boil in Dripping Springs. It has been a couple of years since I have been able to attend the Pre-War Swap Meet in Chickasha Oklahoma. I finally made it back this year and had a great time. I also purchased a lot of items for my inventory, but only a few things for me. I have heard a lot about this swap meet fading in the last few years however I did not find that to be the case. The number of vendors appeared to be about the same as the last 4-5 years, attendance was good and a lot of items seem to be trading hands. Ford T & A parts were plentiful and most of the vehicles for sale were Fords. I noticed many venders with various Maxwell parts which I found strange but you see a little of everything for early cars. I will admit that it is not the Chickasha of 15 years ago but times change and life moves forward and this meet is still here and moving along. This has basically been a one day meet for some time now, although it is advertised as a 2 day event. This year it was moved back a day and vendors were allowed in on Thursday afternoon at 4 to set up. Friday morning is the best time to be there now for shopping. I arrived at 8 AM and by 3 PM I had seen it all and was ready to leave but so were some of the vendors. I saw a number of dealers starting to pack up so I guess it is still a 1 day meet. Hope to see everyone one the 25 th Till next month, Rob Norberg
