For as long as I’ve lived in the Kansas City area, there has been a tradition of annual automotive swap meets, and the biggest ones are usually hosted by the Ararat Shriners. They have been held everywhere from the Crown Center parking garages, to the Woodlands, to Worlds of Fun. There were two such events this year, and the last one was at their new location in the Antique Show Grounds in Lathrop, Mo. This venue is a little out of the way (especially with the road construction on I-35 north of Liberty—ugh!), but once you get there, the trip is worth it.
