Well there are people there starting Wednesday and over 1/2 of the flea 
market area was up and running on Thursday.  I'm sure after all these 
years they have a system for herding cats as well as tractors.

Much as I would have liked to be there on Thursday, vendors come in all 
day and well, I just can't justify setting around doing nothing all day 
in the hopes of snagging something good.  Plus it's only a 45 mile ride 
one way, but it's an hour:15 run during dawn's early
light, but after
that, add on average another 1/2 hour due to traffic.  Sigh....

Got rained out this AM for the most part.  I had just enough time to 
check out the one regular at the flea market who I usually do okay with 
before it seriously cut loose.  The ride back here was an adventure to 
say the least, as the one road I take probably had better drainage 150 
years ago when it was a stagecoach route than it does these days!

Yeah, I'm having some trouble pricing that guy, doesn't seem like they 
made too many of them and even fewer have shown up for sale. The most 
common Wostenholm & Son dagger has brass handle and that brings some 
serious coinage.  But I'm sure I'll figure something out

Tony (just having all kinds of fun eh?)
