Hi;

It will be East on Rt 64 from I-75 for about 50 miles. Wow! Was it great today! I got premium German cloth sanding belts (to be cut for use on sanding boards) for $1 each! (3x21, 80 & 120 grit) I brought back many bags of goodies, including 40' of 1" black nylon webbing for $4, and 30' x 4" of heavy white nylon "sling" material for $3 . . . I only got to see about 1/2 the vendors in the 6 hours we were there - - And I was hustling! I spent probably $50 and have a few years worth of those hobby things I normally consume . . .

Big Hint - - There is a Mexican Church that always sponsors a food booth, and the home-made tamales and what-not are excellent . . . In downtown Sarasota they charge $4.95 for 1/2 of a handmade tamale - - Outright theft! At Pioneer Days, the church sells handmade tamales (whole ones!) for $0.75 each . . . And they are very, very good . . . 8-)

Hope you make and enjoy Pioneer days, Spidey

> Thanks for the heads-up Ken. Which direction on Rt-64 from I-75?
