Remember this is a swap meet too! We just usally hold it at my place as I have a large amount of Fiero *stuff* so people can usually find what they want if they are looking. Be sure to bring your own stuff to sell, or just plain come for the fun and Fiero enthusiast companionship!
Its only a little over a week away!!!
EDIT: Inadvertantly bumped this to page 2. Do check the last post of page one to see more Pictures of the Fiero Parts available at Nickster's Fiero Ranch

One week left! Got the stairs to the second story built today. Even put a railing up on the top floor! Went to drive one of my show cars out and the darn thing wouldn't start. <sigh> Towed it to the garage a mile away.
The distributor cap decided it didn't want to work anymore and now the plugs are all fowled. <sigh> Looks promising to come home today (mechanic works odd hours). Got the garage cleaned decently last night, plan to move cars around later today in preperation for this coming weekend. I will be e-mailing/posting directions to the swap meet in the next few days.
I should definately be attending this event. I have been going thru withdrawal the past few months being on the east coast and having nothing to go to LOL.

OK. Time to get serious I will be posting directions tonight here with exact mileages etc, to bring people in the cleanest way possible. Its supposed to be good weather this week so we should avoid the mud fiasco of last year. Right now however we need to focus on the dish to pass luncheon. What is everyone bringing?
Clint: Meatballs & bread.
You?

Hmm... what could I bring that would still be good after a 3 hour drive? Sounds like an italian theme so far. What about a tossed salad?

And with that phone call to the "future ex" confirming that she will have the boy on Saturday, I will be at the swap meet. What can I bring??? How are you set for paper products (plates, cups, plasticware)???
Salad is good. I haven't purchased paper-products yet, so that is good to. I will probably have soda's and drinks avaialble again like last year in tubs of ice...
From North East. Travel 17W from Binghamton NY towards Elmira. Take Exit 58 (Lowman Crossover) to Wellsburg Turn left on exit ramp and travel 1 mile to Wellsburg. Turn right on NY 427 to go into Wellsburg Travel .1 (one tenth) of a mile and turn left on NY-367 Go straight on this road for 12.3 miles (this road becomes the Berwick Turnpike) It also crosses over into PA after 1.1 miles so you will be travelling in PA for 11.2 miles before making any road changes. After going the 12.3 miles on the Berwick Turnpike/NY367 you will come to a stop sign. Turn Right (Springfield Road) Travel 2.3 Miles on the springfield road and take the first paved road to the left. This is the Wetona road and has signs for the Mt. Pisgah State Park. Travel 2.8 Miles on the Wetona road and take the first paved road to your left. It is Jackson road and is just a short ways past the church on the Wetona Road. Our Driveway is exactly 1 mile up Jackson Road at the top of the hill. Bear to the left in the driveway when it splits.
From Upstate NY. Travel 14 South on through into PA to Columbia Cross Roads. (About 12 miles from the border) Turn left onto the Spring Field road just outside of Columbia Cross Roads. This turn is a sharp left turn up the hill that almost seems like a U-Turn as it goes North for a short bit. If you miss this turn travel straight on into Troy and follow directions from Williamsport below. Travel 5.3 Miles on the Springfield road and take a Right on the Wetona Road. There are signs for the Mt. Pisgah State Park. Travel 2.8 Miles on the Wetona road and take the first paved road to your left.

From South East. Follow the Turnpike North and Take Rt. 6 West. Travel through to East Troy (its about 15-17 miles past Towanda) Turn Right on the Leona Road (should be signs for Mt Pisgah State Park). Travel .2 (two tenths) of a mile on the Leona Road and turn right (following signs for state park) Travel exactly 6 miles (you will see the state park (not County park) at 3.4 miles and leave the state park at 4.7 miles) on the road. At 5.9 miles turn on your right turn signal. It is a blind intersection. Turn right onto Jackson Road. Our Driveway is exactly 1 mile up Jackson Road at the top of the hill. Bear to the left in the driveway when it splits.
From South. Travel 15 North through Williamsport. Turn right onto 14 North to Troy. Rt. 6 and Rt 14 merge in Troy, turn right onto Rt. 6 East and travel through Troy. At the East end of Troy Rt. 14 and Rt. 6 split. (there is a Buick Dealer with a Black 86 Fiero in the lot by this intersection) Continue straight on Rt. 6 East. Travel 2.7 miles on Rt. 6 East (going out of Troy) to East Troy. Turn Left onto the Leona Road. Travel .2 (two tenths) of a mile on the Leona Road and turn right (following signs for state park) Travel exactly 6 miles (you will see the state park (not County park) at 3.4 miles and leave the state park at 4.7 miles) on the road.

Bear to the left in the driveway when it splits.
Hey guys, I need to move the swap meet down to the new garage. I was planning on holding it at my main garage where we had it last year as there is more parking, but I am not going to be able to get everything ready up there by this weekend (my Grandmother died this morning). The only change to the directions is to travel 1.1 miles up Jackson Road as the driveway to the new garage is 1/10th of a mile past our house driveway. There is even a Road Sign on it for Fiero Drive. You can't miss it. This will probably work out better as most of the Fiero parts are in the new garage now.
If you bring your Fiero you can park it down on the road, its paved below the driveway, there is almost no traffic on my road (about 1 car per hour on average) and there is plenty of room to park on the birm and still get around. There is parking up by the garage and along the garage driveway but we haven't smothed it all out as of yet and there is some rough shale. Anyone with a truck or SUV will have no problem at all. If you come we WILL find a place for you to park so don't let that deter you.
I hope to see you there! Thanks Clint

As far as food, I thought I'd throw a baked ziti together, which we can bring in the cooler. I assume the wife's okay with it going in your oven to reheat?
I'm figuring on about the same as last year. i.e. 10-2. Although we had people show up as early at 9:00 and leave as late at 3:30. I would encourage anyone that can to show up around 9:00 and help me get everything in order. I'm going to be quite busy the next two days between work, my grand-mothers funeral and getting everything else in order so although I can promise a fun time with lots of Fiero chatting for everyone and good food for all, I can't promise a spot-less garage with a spot-less house.
I'm hoping for a good turn-out though to cheer me up after this week.

Had a blast for my first time comming and I'm sure I will be there again and thanks for having us clint and hope to see everyone at the glen, Clint you still comming correct? ac
I don't know. I had originally planned on having the 3800 there, but as you noticed it has a ways to go yet. I am thinking of putting the 3.4L on the road for the spring (the black one outside the upper garage). Not sure what I'm doing quite yet.
Look forwarding to seeing you at the meet and discussing "the ropes".
but hey we are fiero people and we always have fun no matter what.
