Sorry for the poor picture, but I wanted to get everyone's input.
I thought it would be a great idea to get all of us CW friends together. I traded emails with Hunter, and he let me know that CW would not be doing a flea market this year. (rats!)
So, is there enough interest to find a show, flea market, place, bar...where ever, to converge?
Hunter suggested Chicago because it is central to the US...and between Europe and Asia...
There are a number of markets here and I could see if I could coordinate a promotion with the ones that I know. HOWEVER, I am wide open to suggestions of place/time etc. The purpose of this post is to get the ball rolling.
If you suggest a flea market, let us all know the dates.
If you are interested, and really believe you would make it, let me know too.
Okay..lets see where this goes!
GamesFrom marbles and yo-yos to card games such as poker and modern multi-player…
HURRAH! ;)
i'm going to be selfish and suggest oakland. but i'll go wherever if i can get away at the time.
HELLO Amberrose i would love a cw summer party:) chicago midwest:)
Is there a good flea in Oakland ho2cultcha?
we have the monthly alameda flea, plus two not-very-good-but-improving fleas in oakland which are open tues-sun and sat/sun. but oakland just keeps getting better for pickers, artists, steampunksters, hipsters, etc... lots of change happening here these days and great deals to be had.
Great idea ! I am close but would not be able to attend :-( Bellin you can wave as you go by !
Aw Mani, he'd give you a ride!
Depending on when and where I would love to be a part of it. I could make it to chicago.
I am sure he would Amber he is a sweetheart but I still couldn't make it . Would be so fun too !!!!!!!!

Thank you everyone!
So far:
Chicago
Dallas area: you are awesome AR8Jason for the exact suggestion
LA
San Francisco
Keep them coming!
Spring? Summer?
Hillsville, Va Labor Day festival....thousands of vendors...city wide sales, hundreds of thousands come to it annually.
Oooooh, liking the suggestion Jamie, I have never heard of this one! Thanks!
Hello, there! Think Chicago would be a fabulous location for a CW gathering!!! Only one concern - it's rather expensive. Best wishes for success with the planning, AmberRose! If anyone can bring it to grand fruition, you can!!! : )
I failed to read whole post. Read it this morning, but didn't see the later posts. Duh. Dallas area great idea, but Summer can get mighty hot there. Spring? Hillsville will be a gorgeous area, but would there be sufficient hotels for CW travelers? I noticed that the population of Hillsville is well under 3,000 persons.
How about Trade Day's in Houston Texas. A Huge area of STUFF !!!!!!!!!!
That sounds Great AR8Jason! I have been there a few times and that would be a Great place for all of us to Gather. As you know, Canton is a huge area and one can find just about Everything one is looking for!!
Love the idea.....
