“There’s a lot of us older generation here that likes to gather when they see these vintage events,” Swap Meet and Vintage Sled Show Co-chair Jim Miesbauer said. “And, talk about the snowmobiles that we rode back in the 70s and how you ride a mile, and fix a mile, and ride a mile and fix a mile. So, it’s just a fun thing to reminisce about and we just all look forward to seeing how everybody’s taken care of all the old equipment.”
