Antelope Valley Swap Meet

Yesterday, we went to the Antelope Valley Swap Meet - the signs and information indicated it was open on Saturday and Sunday, but there aren't many booths open on Saturday. We walked around a little, and a lady there gave us a two-for-one admission to use on Sunday. So... we went back today!

There is a little of everything at this Swap Meet - I took pictures to try to give you a sense of what is there, you can buy....
Appliances (this vendor had washers, dryers, refrigerators) - when we walked by later, a couple was evidently talking to him about making a purchase, and it sounded like he would give them a price with a warranty or without...

Bicycles and assorted power hand tools

Sunglasses of assorted brands, and clothing just beyond

Hand tools - Dwayne got a set of 10" fencing pliers that reminded him of a set they had at the chemical company when he worked there.

Assorted cleaning supplies

Places to eat

New furniture (there was also used furniture)

Assorted stuff

You could get keys made...

Matchbook cars

This shop reminded me of the tourist shops you would see in Cancun or other Mexican tourist towns.

There was an entertainment stage, though no one was playing.

More important "stuff"

Saddles and other horse equipment

Fountains and other yard art

Tires and wheels

Lots and lots of power hand tools in their cases

Lots and lots and lots of assorted hand tools - but none of the type of wrench that we were looking for for Jimmy
 Then back in Acton....
After we left the Swap Meet, we stopped to mail a letter at the local Acton Post Office - I took a picture of the sign in front of the Post Office.... I don't know whether they have problems with people wanting to tie their horses there. This area has a lot of places that look like horse farms, so maybe it is a concern!
