    Hi all
    Just wondering if any of you make the trip for the spring or fall flea market in Barrie (Ontario). I practually live there for the 4 days but I only became a Buick owner after the last one (I don't count the '74 Lesabre because I owned it in '82 and it wasn't a classic then!)

    I was there in the fall and I was suprised at how large it was (I think the fall one is always the biggest). The vendors covered every field. It went right to the fence on highway 11. I think they set a record for most vendors.
    I guess it is hit and miss with those type of events. I usually go and just wander aimlessly (haven't need to actually get anything) but now that I have my Buick I will be looking closer at the trinkets and trash in the aisles. Plus the fact that last January I ended up moving less that 3 concessions away from there makes it pretty darn handy!

    Hi All,
    I try to make it to Barrie at least once a year, missed last year due to my new son and no spare time. Not much in the way of Buick stuff, last time I did score an almost perfect set of 71 taillight lenses for 20 bucks. 2 years ago we met some friends with a space there and ended up staying an extra day :beer !! I also came home with a ratty CanAm dirt bike that i don't remember buying.....

    Hey, same here Tony, I missed not seeing the Green machine last summer.
    I actually did not have my GS out a lot last year either, Only did Orleans once,
    went to the cruise night at Hazeldean a few times and did the big Aylmer show, that's about it! Hopefully it will be better this summer , I can't wait :3gears:
    Adam.
