That's exactly right. A lot of the vendors have sold their stuff and
left by 1:30. That why you found piles of trash that they'd left. I
usually register as a vendor and pay the extra fee just so I can get in
ahead of the public. I can tell you for a fact that the BEST deals happen
long before the public gets in the door. If I couldn't get there before
1:30 I would bother going even if it was across the street!

Well, I got
there on Saturday, about 1:30. ... Sigh, not worth
my 45 minute (each way) drive. Don't know if I'll bother next year.
In my experience with Hamfests and swap meets is that your chance of
finding what you want goes down exponentially with time.
