Toledo RC Expo/Swap Meet

Where Are Today

KOA Campground 

Perrysburg Ohio

The whole reason for stopping here at this location was for me to attend the Toledo RC Expo and Swap Meet, which is held in the Glass City Center in downtown Toledo.

The Glass Center, downtown Toledo

I was on my way just after 7:30 this morning for the 14 mile trip into Toledo. Early yes, but it beats the traffic and I can get a good parking spot in one of the close by parking garages, which can be a challenge with our big truck.

Some models on display

Walking into the Center at 8:00, I wasn't the only one to have the same idea to get there early, as there were quite a few people there already. Conversations were struck and I even met with a flying friend from back home.

It wasn't long and the entry ticket booth opened, I paid my $13.00 admission and entered the main hall where everything was displayed.

A beautiful T-28, the crowd and some vendors

I wasn't looking for anything from the Swap Meet area, although there were some great plane and deals. I was interested in new products and did find one item in particular that I was looking for, plus a few more.

After about two hours, I was satisfied, not to say that i couldn't have found more, but my budget was spent, so back to trailer I went.

I started coming to this show back in the early 80's which back then we would come for the weekend and it was run by the Weak Signals RC club here in Toledo, for 66 years. Covid killed the show and after a 2 year delay, it started back up again under a different group. Small at first, but it is growing. It will be a week earlier next year, so I won't be attending, as it is a little to early for us to be home/.

Tomorrow will be our crossing back into Canada after enjoying another great winter in the southwest. Looking forward to our summer at the Ridge and seeing family and friends. Thanks for stopping by and until the next time, take care. Don't forget to check out the rest of our day at Pat's blog HERE
