[vcf-midatlantic] TCF (was Upcoming VCF events)

[Jeff Galinat]

Yea, I sure miss those days. I was a vendor at TCF for over 40 years
starting in 1978. TCF was the highlight of my year and preparing for it was
my version of "getting ready for the BIG GAME". I always took the Friday
before off to test, label and load the truck to the roof. I sold & got a
lot of bargains over the years and had a great time meeting fellow
enthusiasts. The flea market really got killed when TCF moved to March and
the "flea market" got moved to a conference room. I  continued to sell at
TCF but in 2019 they told the vendors they had to be packed up & out of the
room by 3pm. With 4 tables of stuff, I had to start packing at 2pm. I vowed
that would be my last TCF which proved to be a moot point since I moved to
Tucson, AZ in early 2020.

I am glad to see that others have similar fond memories of the TCF flea
market.
