B66 Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 Hi all. The ATCA National Meet and Flea-market in Macungie, PA is just around the corner and I'm looking forward to a great show again this year. Last year we had well over 500 trucks and our flea-market has 300 spaces, and if the pre-registrations tell the story, we are well ahead of last year in the number of trucks planning to attend. We changed our advertised show dates to Friday (June 15th) and Saturday (June 16th) because people would show up on Sunday afternoon to see only a few trucks left. We are letting trucks on the fields Thursday afternoon. I have heard a rumor that all trucks must leave by Saturday night, this is NOT true. As always, everything must be removed by 7am Monday morning, so you are welcome to stick around on Sunday.If you haven't been to the Macungie show, you are missing one of the best.Jim Widmann, President, Antique Truck Club of America Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/2560-28th-annual-atca-national-meet-and-flea-market-macungie/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't get to use them anymore anyhow, so I'd certainly give them up for the ATCA National Meet! I know it would be worth it.Doug Quote Interested in Old Trucks?

I've been married so long the "boys" don't get a lot of usage either; Although, I've never had an interest in "singin saprano" so I think I'll keep em!! I'll be there next year with a couple of trucks, hopefully Rogers' show also.Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.
