Rocky Hill CT Dry Meet, Saturday March 27th 2010

Tom Conti has offered to take over hosting this fantastic meet from Frank P. who did a great job organizing it for the past 4 years. It is one of (if not the) largest swap meets on the Yankee Chapter calendar and worth attending no matter how far you need to travel! In past years members from as far off as PA, TN and even Canada have attended.

Held at the Rocky Hill Connecticut Bennino-Beck VFW Post 2130, members can warm up inside the hall and lunch may be purchased from their excellent canteen/galley. The VFW officially opens at 9:00 AM and people come & go all day - things usually wind up around 2:30 or 3:00PM. If we are lucky perhaps the Rocky Hill Ramblers stop in to play a few lively tunes at lunchtime!

This meet is not to be missed - be sure to bring something to swap or sell! This is the perfect time to clear out all those old projects you didn't get to this past winter and don't want underfoot the rest of the year!!

The Yankee Chapter requests a $5 donation per each family to help us cover the cost of the event. We also hope to continue having a raffle of donated outboards and related stuff. (If you have something to donate please call or email Tom at tomconti@mac.com or Art S. at info@yankeeaomci.org)

Please note:

* Due to the large turnout expected please park in an orderly and efficient manner.

* If you are staying all day please allow people to double park in back of you

* If you do not have items to swap please park on Pleasant Valley Rd. just to the north and on the same side of Main Street as the VFW and walk over. 

* Do not park out on Main Street since that is designated a No Parking Area.

* We hope to hold the $1 per-ticket raffle as in past years. If you have an outboard motor or related item you would be willing to donate for the raffle please contact Tom at tomconti@mac.com or Art S. at info@yankeeaomci.org prior to the meet.

** Pray for good weather!
