I have only been to the Feb swap meet in the past and there was a fair amount of T stuff. I am not able to go this year.

That's interesting seeing there is a town ending in "up" in WA (Washington).
In Western Australia (also abbreviated WA) there are a lot of towns ending in "up".

"The Early Bird" meet is sponsored by our local (Tacoma) T Club - depending on the nice weather we're having - it's usually better for T parts than the "Almost Spring" meet a month later sponsored by the Galloping Gerties Model A Club. Number of T parts guys is dwindling down - me included - too much work loading & unloading all my parts - easier to come get them at my place !

I hope that they do some snow removal in the outdoor areas.
It would be no fun to setup in a foot of snow

Just been debating this, traveling down from Canada. Hope the snow doesn’t scare the vendors away. Ive always enjoyed the meet, and look forwards to getting away from the snow here. Maybe this year we will leave a small amount of snow, only to be in more snow there. Still looking forwards to it, hope to see many friends there.

I've pretty much decided I'm not going. 650 miles of snow, 3 mountain passes, cold and nasty weather during the meet. Nothing I need that bad.

Looks like I’m not going to make it either, another snow storm is bound to hit the moutain passes again on Thursday.
Like Stan I have several mountain passes to get through just to get across the border from Canada. Crazy winter!!!

- Example of our new "BLACK ON WHITE" leather plate. It's an option, the majority of our plate are aluminum on a black leather base.
While I've attended and been a vendor at Bakersfield, Chickasha and Hershey for the past 8-10 years, I've not been a vendor at "The Early Bird" at Puyallup until this year! I'll be located inside the Showplex Bldg 4, Space 4125. I'm sharing a spot with a friend. I'll be there with my Leather License Plates.......I figured that being so nearby (less than 100 miles) it's worth a try. I'll be looking for those owners with generally pre-1916 cars. Stop by and say hello.
