Final reminder about the mini swap meet hosted by the Mount Vernon Clinic on Saturday, May 6, 2923,10am to 3pm. Location is the Mount Vernon Senior Center, 1411 Cleveland Street (Kincaid Street exit from I-5). Admission by donation; proceeds go to the Mount Vernon Meals-on-Wheels program.

Still a couple tables are available for rental ($10/table). Contact event coordinator Mark Malmkar at: plm99mfg@gmail.com. There will be part of an N scale estate, as well as plenty of HO and even some On30 items.

And the tulips are blooming late this year, so you can turn the trip into a “two-fer” and enjoy Skagit Valley’s famous fields of colorful tulips in addition to checking out the swap meet.
