[Boatanchors] DAYTON FLEA MARKET

[w8qwl at juno.com]

Now let me tell you of a happening in 2003. I had a signed copy of my
commercial booths(609-610),when i got there on Thurs about noon, I found
that the guy that rents the wheelchairs(at the east end of the build.)
had taken over my spots,the committee was very nice,finding me another
spot, ,but no body else could find me. because i was not on the map and
then telling me they will take care of it next year. I am still waiting
for NEXT YEAR. needless to say I have not been back, i have both
commercial and flea market spaces since 1972 .guess it is time to call it
quits.
