THIS YEAR IN DEERFIELD.  The Hoss Traders Tailgate Swapfest (Deerfield) will
be held at the Deerfield Fairgrounds, Deerfield, N.H. on 3 June 1988.
All info is the same as it was before when the event was held at Deerfield 
before.  There will be Friday night camping, but no camp fires are allowed.
Use of the buildings is not permitted unless you have a receipt from the
owner of the building.

**NOTICE** that the date is different than the usual day before Mothers day.
The Fall date is now set for the Saturday after the Deerfield Fair, unless
there are problems. Admission is $5.00 for sellers or buyers. The Fairground
opens at 1600 on Friday.

If all goes well we will be in Deerfield on the day before Mothers Day in 1990
as usual.  If Not, we will be looking again.  

There will be a "special" dumpster for metal this year.  The chief complaints
were about unauthorized use of the buildings and campfires, if we can manage
these,  we will be back in Deerfield for the foreseeable future.
