“And we're really excited about it. Every year. We always get different vendors. We have two new vendors that are coming from Illinois and Indiana that we've never had before. So that's really exciting. We have a display truck from dirt track truck series that are going to be talking about their 2026 summer schedule, and a local boy hero, Jack Nichols, will be on display with his sprint car for kids to see as well,” said Jacob Elrod, owner of Ultimate Racing Promotions.
The Lima Swap Meet will run from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sunday, Jan. 25, at the Allen County Fairgrounds.
