Canton Swap Meet, Canton, Texas

So a day to play, a group of us headed to Canton, Texas to a very large Swap Meet, it is said to be the oldest Trade show in Texas, it started in 1850ish, and continues today.  It runs only 4 days each month.  With only 6000 vendors on hundreds of acres, attracts over 100,000 shoppers.
