Welcome to the 2008 Missouri Car Show & Swap Meet Guide!!!

Hey fellow car show participants/attendants! The following list is something that I like to pull together each year, and it will be updated as I hear of new cruises/shows/meets in Missouri.

If you would like to have your show added to the list, just pm (http://www.67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/private.php?do=newpm&u=16528) me and let me know. Please include the following:

- Name of the show
- Date of the show
- City the show is in
- Location of the show
- Link to the show (if applicable)
- Rain out date (if applicable)

I also have this list posted on my CarDomain site which can be found in my signature. Again, this is not a listing of every event that will be in Missouri, but just a help guide to several of the cruises, shows, and swap meets from around the State. This list is subject to change, as well are the dates and locations, so be sure to check back for additions/updates to the list.

Feel free to provide this list your friends/family as needed. I created this guide for anyone that would like to find other cruises, shows, and swap meets in their area, or in someone else’s backyard.

As a note:
Once the event is over, the entry will be deleted (If you need to locate a past event, please pm (http://www.67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/private.php?do=newpm&u=16528) me, and I will help you locate the information.)

Hey Nate,... Here' s link to the Columbia swap meet website. I know this is too late for the Feb. swap meet,... but the next one is on Oct. 11th. http://www.gspromotions.net/Upcoming_Show

**EDIT**
Thanks Keith! It's up there now, along with a lot more events.

Sorry,... I didn't see it. Thanks.

What do you know about the Swap Meet in California MO on March 1st? That's this coming Saturday!

The show is being put on by a buddy of mine from California. Him and his brother recently opened a racecar shop, and they're going to try and have this show to stir-up some business/awareness. If either you or Jeff are considering a booth here's some more info:

Location: 607 E Hwy 50 (the old Henry Tractor, just on east side of town)

Time: 8:00-5:00

10X10 Booths Inside and Outside = $10 per booth or $25 for 3 spots (trailers outside only)

Inside spots are first come first serve

Inside vendors need to setup Friday from 12:00pm to 9:00pm or early Saturday

If you want to talk with Jase, pm me, I have his phone number.

**EDIT**

By the way it is free admission...

updated....

I'll get a date for & more info for our annual classic chevy GMC truck show in Arnold MO, sometime in October.

Just let me know and I will update the list... I need to get with bobbo and maybe include a listing for club meetings. If you want me to make a spot for the meetings, send me a list of the dates/times/locations.

Our club meetings are the first saturday of each month at the Steak N Shake on S. Glenstone in Springfield. I will get an exact address as well as which months we won't have the meetings due to other activities elsewhere. Give me a couple of days to put a list together.

Thanks bobbo, either post the info or pm me and I will add it to the list.

stepside454/bobbo... can you guys check out the listing above to make sure it is correct for your meetings? Thanks!

That is right. might want to spell Springfield right. :) And the link doesn't work...

Thank you!

Thanks for the spelling correction... after entering in tons of shows my eyes tend to go bug-eyed!!! I completely removed the link because I tried to correct it and it still wouldn't work. I'm wondering if it has to do with being logged into the site or something. I will try it from work in the morning to see if I can try it a different way.

You can use this link...http://www.chevygmcclub.com

Thanks bobbo... it's up there now.

Nate this is awesome......... thanks for all the hard work keeping this up and dated.

Don't mention it... if you hear of any local shows in your area Randy, let me know and I will update the list. I'll be making an update this week with some new shows that I heard about over the weekend.

I've made it down your way quite a bit for work over the past few months.

You have another swap meet for Eureka this coming weekend that I don't think is going to happen. My friends down there didn't know anything about it. Actually the one this weekend was by the Chamber.

The huge Riverport swap meet has been moved to Gateway International speedway and I believe it it April 27th.

I did it, didn't mean to scare ya! :) Thought it would be better up top since it is information. :)

No... not a problem at all. As long as it is used, that's all I care about.

I wish I would have known about that Shelby show yesterday. gosh darn it :(. Thats only 15 minutes from me.

I tend to forget when shows are, that's why I'm glad I decided to start this post. Keep posted, as it's updated weekly.

When are the California and Tipton car shows this year?

I believe the California show is going to be located at the fairgrounds instead of the park like the previous two years. As far as the Tipton car show, I haven't heard any updates on this one. I will see what I can find out.... I'll keep you posted.

Are you going to enter your truck?

It depends when they are, but I would like to go to a couple of shows just to see who I remember. Maybe they will have an unfinished class :)

The show during the Ham & Turkey Festival is on 9/20. Here's the link (http://www.calmo.com/HT_CarShow.asp), but more info will follow later.

I'm in Fayetteville, Arkansas, I can make alot of these cruises and meets. Especially in Branson and Springfield. This is great info. Thanks for keeping it updated. There was a show and cruise in Branson AUg 8,9,10. It's an annual event.FYI

Thanks for the info, I haven't been able to updated the list for a few weeks, but I will updated it early next week.

Keep posted as more updates will come, and I have already started the 2009 list.
