That's a bit of a hike for something that starts at 8am.

I'll have to check out the one in berryville. There is also one every year at my work - NVCC Annandale.

I copied and pasted that from their website. I guess I should have put that in quotes or something. To give credit to the original author! lol I plan to head there and see what kinda stuff they have on the swap tables. Last year I found some cheap older gear for a great value.
