The Grand Rapids (MN) Swap meet in late July was just that:
GRAND
I blew a wad of cash faster than you can say "Bob's your uncle".
My friend, a newbie to the event, was simply overwhelmed with how big it was.
But she held up to like a champ & we covered every inch and closed the place down!

Most notable item?
Cooler caddy!
Speaking of coolers, we oogled over this old Pepsi one.
Cute, huh? $23 seemed fair, but we weren't done looking yet!
Signs, signs, signs...
Priced so high :-(
Love pretty glass?
I did leave with an $8 set of pink Oyster Pearl candle holders!
The green Horseshoe #612 that I collect is so hard to find.
Someday I'll stumble on the $1000 butter dish for $10,
at least that's my plan! Hey, I can dream!
On the other end of the spectrum,
toy trucks
I guess having two sons makes me notice these more
did you spot the stack of enamelware?!
So much to see, your brain hurts (in a good way)
Tins, baskets, boxes, utensils, tables, pots....
Are you wondering what I got?
watering can
large funnel
pickle jar
wagon
umbrella
books
wash boards
suitcases
sewing drawer
and much more!
Most unique?
Regina music box record
I had to look this up & found a Youtube video!
Now I want a player too!
The engineering of this baffles me!
Most rusty?
The wagon!
I made quite a scene leaving the sale with my high pitched squeaking!
It was worth the embarrassment.
These? Not just for pickles.
I'm thinking croquet balls & thread spools!
More cameras....FEED the addiction!
My friend & I used our pooled purchases to deal down on prices.
This was a fun strategy!
She scored an old typewriter for $20.
There will be some awesome typewriter key jewelry as a result.
