Military vehicle show, swap meet coming to Camp Jordan
The Tri-State Military Vehicle Club’s annual Vehicle Show and Swap Meet will be held next month at Camp Jordan Park in East Ridge, Tennessee.
The show will be held Saturday, Sept. 4, from 8 a.m. to dark, and Sunday, Sept. 5, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
The show is free to attend, with military vehicles from World War II to modern day on display, and club members will be on hand to show off their prized vehicles and displays.
The show and swap meet allow collectors, enthusiasts and history buffs to peruse authentic vehicles and equipment while enjoying military displays.
“This show is for anyone who loves history or is curious about or interested in adding a vehicle to their collection,” said club president Louis Varnell. “All of us own and have restored
vehicles, so you’ll get your questions answered and know you’re seeing authentic restorations. Plus, we might have the part or display piece you’re looking for.”
The public is invited to rent a space at the swap meet to sell or trade military items and vehicle parts. No yard sale items allowed. The cost is $25 and can be paid the day of by cash or check. Questions can be directed to club president Louis Varnell at 423-240-6631 or Berlin Seaborn at 423-593-1476 or online at www.seaborn123@bellsouth.net.
