More stuff from the WORLD FAMOUS Branch 245 EDGE&TA your Tractor club;
ITS ALMOST SPRING 245 SWAP MEET TIME !!! SO EXCITED
It’s looking a lot like spring around here, grass is growing faster than we can keep it mowed, flowers are starting to bloom and the honey bees are waking up and gathering pollen. Time to crawl into the shed and dig out a bunch of treasures and haul them up to the swap meet.
I started digging today and already have 4 pickup loads of unbelievable treasure ready to go.
Come and set up Thursday afternoon if you like or Friday morning
Remember swap meet is Friday and Saturday, still $20 bucks for a spot.
We should have a little work Party to get ready, I know it’s a pain.
The normal prep work, potties and tables out, cleaned up as needed, sinks cleaned, fire wood stacked for the barrel stoves, signs moved out and set up around town. Probably some w**d eating will need done by then. I’ll get the grass hacked down and run the goose p**p #1200 over the grounds to spread out the grease worms . Sunday the 19th for prep- day let’s start around 9am , bring a sack lunch .
Coming up:
Branch 245 annual spring swap meet April 24th and 25th

Matlock’s Old Timers Fair is May 2nd and 3rd. Super Fun !
