Here is the address for the Fairgrounds office: Boone County Fair Office‎ 5212 North Oakland Gravel Road Columbia, MO 65202-9235 But the swap meet is in the nearby Fairgrounds building, not the office. When you get off northbound Hwy 63 at N. Oakland Gravel Rd., turn to the right off the exit and right again at the "T" and the fairgrounds entrance is the next left. Google MapIf you can put in latitude & longitude in your GPS, it is: 39.003736,-92.296413

Chad,
There are hotels and restruants at the intersections of 70 and 63. And there you are only 3 miles from the show. call us Thursday evening we can get something to eat. Christina has the hotel we are at and I can call you later on it or look under events and the show as it shows nearby hotels.

Chad,
Click on "Events" at the top of this page. Then find the listing for "It's A Gas" and click on "Hotels" at the end of that listing. It will show nearby hotels, with rates. You can book a room online right there.
Thanks.

Tom and I are at the end of the first row against the wall you drive through to enter. I've been pulling signs off the walls all morning. I am bringing some outstanding rare htf porcelain and tin signs right out of my collection. Look for Tom's pick up and my blue Ford Explorer. Please don't call or email. Just be at the back of our trucks. Something for everyone!
