Chesapeake Meet Saturday Only?

[craig (DE)]

I've been hearing and reading conflicting news about the 2022 Chesapeake Meet. Is the swap meet only on Saturday Oct. 1st and vendor only set-up is Sep. 30th?
If so, why just one day swap meet?

Vendors can start vending on set up day.

Craig - as Tom Finn said swap meet vending is open Friday. Our bad on how we communicated the Meet days. The swap meet portion of the meet is Friday (9/30) and Saturday (10/1) all day and open to the public starting at 8:00am. What we are doing is doing away with an exclusive vendor set up day. Here is the schedule for the meet

Friday September 30, 2022 - swap meet opens to public at 8:00am, vendor check in and access to set up beginning at 7:00am, enjoy food and drinks for sale, Walk up registration welcome with plenty of vendor spaces for AMCA members. At 12:00pm noon vendors with 2022 spaces may register and pay for the same spaces for the 2023 Chesapeake Meet (9/29/23 - 9/30/2023).

Saturday October 1, 2023 - swap meet opens to the public at 8:00am, antique motorcycle judging 1:00pm, enjoy food and drinks for sale, free antique motorcycle for sale corral for AMCA members, antique motorcycle field games at 3:00pm, Chesapeake Chapter Banquet at 6:30pm Tickets $30 available at the main gate. Face to face vendor space registration continues for 2023.

Sunday October 2, 2023 - get away day, vending permitted for registered vendors as available, relax, hang out and enjoy food and drinks for sale by Upperco Vol. Fire Department staff.

I hope this helps clear things up and sorry for the confusion. Don't hesitate to let me know if you have any other questions.

Hello Mike,

Thanks for the clarification! I know other members who were confused too about the Saturday only swap meet as originally posted.
