Lane Ranger 10,520 #61 Posted April 21, 2013 The Biggest and Best Mentone Swap Meet yet was held Saturday April 20th in Mentone, Indiana. Thanks to Ken Stephens and Richard Layne and Scott Mehlberg for all the work you do preparing for this! I saw more Red Square Members this year than ever before. Great to have all these Red Square members at Mentone. While the snow flurries, wind and cool weather was a downer , the large number of vendors, buyers, and great conversations with friends and strangers made it a real hit. Word is that efforts are being made to expand the show site for next year -as we are outgrowing our Mentone Swap Meet space needed for all the parking, trucks and trailers and Wheel Horse tractors, parts and suppiles display space! Again, thanks for another great Mentone Swap Meet! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevasaurus 22,240 #62 Posted April 21, 2013 What a fantastic time. Terry...a BIG THANK YOU for those stickers. I had you reaching into that black bag of yours a lot. I did not stop shooting the breeze with people all day. Glad Jake and his dad Doug are OK and made it there...too scary. Was a lot of fun riding with Smok'Joe and Jordan also...I really felt the wind burn on my face by the time we got home. It was just good to get out and see everyone again after the long winter.

Jake Kuhn 1,547 #63 Posted April 21, 2013 What a great time at mentone, even after the truck adventure. Did anyone get any pictures? I barely got a chance to walk around before everyone was leaving as our spot was crowded with people like vultures looking at the parts because we didn't arrived until noon so I didn't get a chance to take any! LOL Here's a picture of how the truck made it out of the wreck, not too great! LOL Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jake Kuhn 1,547 #67 Posted April 21, 2013 WOW! Hope you and your Dad are OK Jake...what caused the fender bender? We were headed to mentone and there was a lady who went over a over pass and hit a patch of ice. She lost control and there was absolutely nowhere we could go. We went all the way over to the far lane on a 4 land road but just couldn't get away from her. We were very lucky and a buddy came down with two trucks and another trailer so he could haul our truck back and so we could haul the trailer too, and he was nice enough to let us keep going to mentone. It was about 7:15 when the accident happened, by 11 we were back on our way to mentone. It was almost noon when we got to mentone but that was better than not going at all. The truck is pretty bad...estimate came up to 16k. Looks like its gonna be totaled. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vinylguy 4,666 #68 Posted April 21, 2013 Jake It was an awesome day for me at the Mentone swap meet.

fabricator2009 48 #72 Posted April 22, 2013 As Lane said, we are definitly outgrowing our current spot for the swap and show. It would not have been possible without the support of my brothers in arms aka. redsquare members who come and help and do whatever they can to make this a success. Thanks go out to everyone.
