Are you asking about on what date the April 2026 Swap Meet and Car Show will be held at the Fitchburg airport?
The answer is…..the Fitchburg Airport is undergoing a significant renovation. Hence, the airport will not host our event this year. We have been in conversations with another host to take over this beloved event. Unfortunately, after hosting this event for over 50 years the New England Regional Group #5 will not host an event in April 2026.

Regards,
-Mike

Mike,
I guess I didn’t read the notice close enough. I didn’t notice it still said 2025. Thanks for the correction. Really going to miss the event this year……..Thanks…….Mark

Thanks to all that responded. Too bad to see such a good show go by the wayside. Hopefully just for this year.

Also thanks to the people that made it happen for all the past years. Hopefully �� we will see it return in 2027. Carl Sneirson

Thanks Carl.
We have had a great run over the years. This would have been our 54th consecutive event.

Two things have put us behind the power curve this year; 1) we are still sorting out details with the new venue and 2) we have a manpower issue. The old guard isn’t getting any younger and membership is declining. Can’t get the younger generation interested in joining.

Here is hoping for a successful 2027!!!

-Mike
