Paul Danik suggested I post this info on the POG forum. I'm greatly appreciative. Right now, my web site, //www.classicswapmeets.com, is under construction (my timing is perfect). If you are interested in getting swap meet space at any of our 2010-2011 events, please call or e-mail me at 440-591-5099 or [email protected].

The web site should be back up in a week or so. Make sure you check it out.  

Thanks again,

Will

Classic Events presented by Will Stoner News Letter
Vol.3, No. 1
Big Changes for 2010-2011!

Welcome to the third edition of the Classic Events News Letter! My goal is to do more than to just keep you updated on the events we will be presenting, but also to inform and entertain you with tidbits, nuggets and kernels of wisdom and foolishness I pick from the world of motorcycling. The swap meets will feature all brands of motorcycles, parts, literature, memorabilia and accessories. Sharing the spotlight at the events will be vintage motorcycle shows. The shows are open to all bikes 1991 or older, with awards in over ten classes up for grabs.
2010-2011 Schedule:
•   Sunday, November 7, 2010: Community Center East Hall, Medina County Fairgrounds, Medina, Ohio
•   Sunday, November 14, 2010: Old Main Building, York Expo Center, York, Pennsylvania
•   Saturday, February 19, 2011: Community Center East Hall, Medina County Fairgrounds, Medina, Ohio
•   Saturday, March 12: Old Main Building, York Expo Center, York, Pennsylvania
•   June 10-12, 2011 Second Annual Road America Vintage Motorcycle Classic, Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin

Ohio Shows at Medina County Fairgrounds
We're moving our Ohio shows to the Community Center at the Medina County Fairgrounds in Medina, Ohio. The spacious, clean facility has room for nearly two hundred vendor spaces, but we'll be using less this season. There are acres of paved parking lots for our guests, as well as ample space for you intrepid souls who prefer outdoor vendor spots. Medina is a south western suburb of Cleveland. The fairground is conveniently located just south of town on U.S. 42, four miles west of Interstates 71 and 271.

Back in Old Main!
We will return to "Old Main Building" at the York Expo Center This season. You will soon be able to find vendor layouts for York and Medina on or website, //www.classicswapmeets.com. The York layout is the same as previous events.

2011 Shows on Saturday
Because of schedule conflicts at both York and Medina for our winter 2011 shows, the February 19, 2011 Medina and March 12, 2011 York events will be held on Saturday. We will analyze Saturday dates. Please give us  your opinion.              

No Saturday Set Up
Due to escalating facility costs, we will not be offering Saturday set up at the November Medina and York meets. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

Classic Events Web Site being Overhauled
Our web site, //www.classicswapmeets.com is being updated (restored?) even as you read this! The changes will be completed in less than two weeks. The changes will make the site easier to navigate, and we will keep it up to date all the time. There will be a calendar with vintage bike event listings from throughout the country, previews of what vendors will be bringing to upcoming events and much more.

Road America Vintage Motorcycle Classic a Success!
The inaugural Road America Vintage Motorcycle Classic (RAVMC) at Elkhart Lake's Road America in Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin was a big success! With over five thousand spectators, seventy five swap vendors and seven hundred AHRMA vintage racers. The seeds were planted for what is sure to become one of America's premier vintage motorcycling events.

Help us spread the word!
We continue to develop a series of family-friendly motorcycling events that focus on the interests of the serious motorcycle enthusiast.  I have always considered the motorcycling community part of my family. Now I have the opportunity host the family reunions.
Additionally, we want to help pass on our passion for motorcycling to the next generation. With that in mind, all future motorcyclists age sixteen and under will be admitted free to all Classic Swap Meets presented by Will Stoner, when accompanied by an adult.
As always, we need your help to achieve our goal. we ask you to spread the word about the 2010-2011 events. More importantly, dig into your shop, garage or attic and pull out those old parts, bikes, literature or memorabilia, send in your paid vendor application and join us in Medina, York and Elkhart Lake. With the economy the way it is, would it hurt to make a few extra bucks?
