You can take it to the Valley Hybrid Swap that is happening tomorrow in Stockton.

From ih8mud.

it's time for our annual cruiser specific swap meet in Stockton, northern CA. date: May 2nd, time: 9am to 2pm location: 4932 Waterloo road Stockton CA ( 3/4 mile east of hwy 99 on right ) price: $10 per spot; admission for spectators is $5.
food: we'll have a caterer on hand, lotsa junkfood within 1/2 mile. pets: NO. PLEASE leave your dogs at home. kids: only if they're supervised by an adult AT ALL TIMES!!!!!!! and i mean at all times. that does not translate to "as long as they're on the property", it means they need to be at your side at all times. so PLEASE be a responsible parent and keep your kids with you. show-n-shine: sure, so bring your cruisers!!!!!!! we'll come up with a prize..... so dig up your old parts, load them in your cruiser and show up. might as well crack open your piggy bank while you're at it. a few vendors have been invited and will be te the event as well. please keep in mind that this event will be hosted on a friends property. he has invited us to have the swap meet there once again. i have a ton of respect for chip so let's make sure we behave accordingly, clean up after ourselves,......you get the point. hope to see you there!!!!!!!


UPDATE!!!!!!!!!

Chips' insurance company requires us to post a bond for this event. So I'm sorry to have to ask but we will need to charge admission per person. The bond is $1k. Given that expense and the porta-potty rental we're going to have to charge $5/person. If you plan on selling stuff then it's still $10 but additional people you're bringing will be charged $5 admission. Even at those prices I think it's still a very good deal and I doubt I'll break even when it's all said and done since I'm posting the bond.
If for some reason we end up with more cash than the cost of the event, we'll put the excess into a pot and do a cash raffle.
This event, just like the "FJ45 Run" was never meant to generate income for anybody. But on the other hand I can't afford for it to cost us money other than lost wages due to the amount of time and effort it takes to set up the event and host location.
Hope everybody understands.
