Dave & Ed’s Auto Events Pro-Formance Swap Meet Celebrates 25 Years!

March 4, 2010

In 1985 Dave Ehret and Ed Nelson from Canton, Ohio rented the Stark County Fairgrounds and had their first Pro-Formance Swap Meet. They had envisioned a place where racers of all kinds could buy and sell their performance cars and parts. What they did not realize was this one adventure would open a whole new chapter in their lives.

Now 25 years later, every March and November, thousands of performance enthusiasts gather, some from as far as Florida, Oklahoma and North Carolina, to take part in the Pro-Formance Swap Meet to buy, sell and trade from over 800 vendors.

Dave stated, “We started this as more of a hobby and it just took off. Not that it hasn’t been a lot of work, but even today we just love promoting a family oriented event that is affordable. The joy of working with people is very gratifying.”

After all these years the admission to one of Dave and Ed’s events is still only $5. Their favorite motto is “Give people their money’s worth”, and with that, as the customers are leaving, they are anticipating the next Dave & Ed’s event.

You can experience the Pro-Formance Swap Meet this weekend, March 6-7, at the Stark County Fairgrounds.  For more information visit: www.autoevents.com
