The Fairgrounds site (see aerial picture below) is large enough to rival any other location on the east coast and our show is destined to become the premier eastern military vehicle show. The Military Transportation is more than just a car club. It is dedicated to the care and preservation of vehicles which are the symbol of the soldiers who served with them. Therefore, our philosophy has always been to attract not only the military vehicle collector community, but also the public, hopefully introducing non- hobbyists to the Military Vehicle collector and restoring community. Thereby, the MTA Swapmeet and Military Vehicle Show promotes the hobby of military vehicle collecting and restoration to the public, as well as serving our base of members and existing Military Vehicle hobbyists. We keep the price of general admission (only $5.00 per spectator, children under 12 free) to the show low, so as to make the experience affordable to families. This year we will include participation by reenacting groups, who will put our vehicles in context as living history. And always brings in the crowds! Due to the immense size of the complex, Vendors will be pleased to see that the areas for vending are spacious, with large aisle ways, eliminating the problems of jamming in customers that occurred during peak hours at previous shows in the armory sites. Within the fairgrounds, there are three areas where vendor space may be reserved. The inside vendors are located in a heated free standing building. 8 foot long tables may be reserved at a cost of $30 per table. Rental includes the table, which is supplied without additional charge. Click for layout Covered Outdoor vendor spaces are located in three buildings. and numbered 01 to 048 on the drawings linked below. These buildings are open on the sides, but protected from the elements and unheated. Vendors in these buildings will be able to have a dry display area, even in the event of inclement weather. They are located at the bottom left of the aerial below. Click for layout Uncovered outdoor spaces are located in parking areas and spread throughout the site. They are identified as spaces O50 TO O69 Click for layout These Outdoor sites, whether covered or not, are all 20x10 and cost $30 per space. Although a car or a jeep would be able to be brought into the covered outside spaces, a larger truck or deuce and 1/2 will not fit under the covered area because of size constraints. So Vendors may wish to select uncovered spaces if they want to set up their own tents, or vend out of the back of a vehicle which doesn't fit within the covered spaces, or if they prefer a particular location. Note that while we are selling vendor space, a list of registered vendors and all unsold spaces can be found in the left panel of this website. These reports are updated often, and the date of the last report is at the bottom of the vendors report. Spaces are subject to prior sale, and the MTA reserves the right to move vendors when necessary.
