All,

Due to time constraints the dates and location and setup for 2026 will remain the same.

Gerald Robinson is our man on point, and he is in the process of obtaining the contact information for those who previously registered with Steven Chase’s team. Though Steven’s team is mailing back the early registration checks (since a new team is taking over), we hope to offer those already registered the same spaces they previously requested, if they desire.

There are a lot of gears in motion, some stuck things getting oiled up, and a few cotter pins getting replaced, but there is a new team of many hands dedicated to keeping this meet going. Rest assure with a bit of mighty cranking & a dollop of Marvel Mystery Oil we’ll have the old gal back on the road again.

How can you help?
Spread the word that
Bakersfield is GO to everyone in the hobby.
Let the vendors know you hope to see them there.
Then come and enjoy with your friends in hobby

Questions are best sent to our Man on Point, Gerald Robinson (contact info on flyer posted by Kim above)

Jim

All,

The new Bakersfield swap meet organizing committee met Sunday Evening (1/25/26), and things are moving along well.

The committee will honor space requests from hose who previously registered for spaces,
You will be contacted in the next few days to work out the details.

Everyone who did not previously register can register as the flyer above indicates.

There’s a few details being worked, as one can imagine. We appreciate your patience as we work through them.
In turn we will keep everyone posted.

If you have questions, or wish to help the all-volunteer team make this happen, please reach out to Gerald Robinson.
His phone number is on the flyer, and he can be reached on this forum by a personal message to gtttrobinson.

Many thanks,

Jim
