Topic: ASAM Swap Meet - 1983
Back in the day we had to do all our flyers by hand! Images such as the illustration of the Aurora Thunderjet HO car, were done by cut & paste (literally) to paper. and then photo copied. This swap meet was put on while I was a member of the HO Racers of Oregon or HORO. This was the second swap meet we held, the first being for HO slot cars only and was held in my garage. For this swap meet we rented a building that was used as a daycare center during the weekdays. We included all types of toy cars in this meet and advertised in local newspapers and the Nickle Ads. The were surprised as the response was terrific! We had request from toy dealers and other individuals to rent tables, something we had not even considered. The meet was a success and we all had a great time! As I recall we had over 50 people show up! That was a big number for toy car enthusiasts in 1983!
