Henderson, TN Radio Swap Meet: Part 1

I left Milwaukee, WI today on my journey to an antique radio swap meet in Henderson, TN. This event starts Saturday morning and I look forward to aquiring additional items for my collection and my resale business at www.simplyspiritsales.com. I drove approximately 6-hours of the 10-hour trip today and am staying in Marion, IL this evening. This is the first trip in my new 2008 Dodge Grand Caravan and the ride was fantastic so far. The weather has been gorgeous with no rain and mid-80 degree temps. This is the first radio swap meet I will be attending in over a month and I am really looking forward to it. I have not been to this particular event previously, so that also adds a bit more excitement to it. I look forward to posting additional details of this trip in the days to follow and plan to post similar details of my travels throughout the US attending various antique radio swap meets and auctions. More to come soon...

Henderson, TN Radio Swap Meet Trip Part 2

I apologize for not being able to write the second part of this post until now. My online sales business has been keeping me very busy lately. The Henderson, TN radio show was rather small, about 8 sellers were setup however, I did end up purchasing a number of nice table radios in addition to other vintage radio related items for a total of 10 items. I got to the radio show around 7am and the show was in full swing by about 9am. However, after 9am, not much else was happening. The weather was fantastic with clear skys and mid-80 degree temps. I was actually interviewed by a reporter for the local newspaper who may or may not end up using my interview for a story she is writing. I spent about 3-hours at the radio show and then started my journey back to Milwaukee. I drove about 7-hours back on the day of the show (Saturday) and the rest of the way on Sunday, staying at a nice hotel a couple hours South of Chicago. Feel free to go to my website at www.simplyspiritsales.com to check out some of the items I purchased at this show. The next radio swap meet, which I plan to attend, will be in Greenfield, IN on October 11, 2008. This show is about 5-hours from my home-base in Milwaukee, WI and I can't wait to check it out and find some cool treasures. Stay tuned, more to come.......
