We will be having our 45th Annual Reno Swap Meet again at Arco Arena
on Sunday Aug. 1st. 2010.
Our 3rd year at this location and it has proven to be a great location. (We have actually doubled our size..) but it's just one day as opposed to 3 days in the "dirt bowl center" in Reno and we are now back to a tradition a style swap meet.
This is the original Harrah Swap meet that stated back in June '65 and Bill Finefrock continued it when Bill Harrah died and changed the name to the Reno Swap Meet after Holiday Inn bought the Harrahs name. Then Bill was asked to join in partnership with HAN back in 1987 ... moving our date from June to Aug. to help them out.
(much mis-information is out there about the break off from Hot August Nights just not worth going into here.)
Call me if you have any questions ... John 916-955-8777 ...(ps I collect Sohio stuff)
or ask any of the vendors who was with us at the new location ..
(ie Dave Doolittle will give you the straight scoop)
You do not need to pre-register -- just pay at the gate .. no reserved spaces
...just too hard to number 11,000 spaces ...
www.renoswapmeet.com general admission is $6 per head .... but parking is free.
We will be adding another swap meet date in April 2011 ..and hold 2 a year at Arco
