The weekend before (February 15th) the swap meet, we need several people to help plant T-posts and string “Caution” tape between the posts.  Some members will meet at the Whataburger – 440 Northwest Parkway Street, Azle, Texas 76020 – for breakfast on the 15th.  Please be there before 9:30am if you would like to follow other volunteers to the fairgrounds in Decatur.

The work during the swap meet is not hard, basically taking money or directing cars and trucks on where to park.
