Of the two swap meets scheduled for this coming February, Sumter in Bushnell, Florida or Moultrie in Georgia, which is larger?

Since no response yet here is what I can tell you... I don't know how Moultrie and Sumter compare on the February meets, but in absolute size the Fall Moultrie meet (November) is at least twice the size of the February one.

The Florida swap meets are in decline just like those in the rest of the country.

Unfortunately the Zephyr Hills FL swap meets in fall 2017 and Feb 2018 were cancelled due to damages from hurricane Irma. They may restart in Fall 2018??

Carlisle Events also runs a spring and fall show and swap meet in Lakeland FL. The February swap meet is bigger than the fall and both have car shows and auctions. I will be vending at the Lakeland swap meet on February 22-24 just because it is close to me and I enjoy the swap meet atmosphere, but I'll likely be the only one with many original older Chevy parts.

I've been to Moultrie dozens of times over the years. The Fall Moultrie is much larger than the February Moultrie. Zephyrhills is a large meet when the weather is right. I've never been to the winter Sumter
extravaganza so I cant compare to Moultrie. I've been to quite a few of the monthly meets and they are very small in comparison. The February Moultrie show can be a bust because of weather. I've seen it 80+ degrees and I've seen it 32 and sleet. I may go to Sumter this year since I was at Moultrie in November.

Thanks, guys. I have been to about every major swap meet in the US, but I have not been to the ones in Florida, and I was thinking about attending. I have hotel reservations at Chickasha in March. Have truck, will travel!
