The Great Lakes Lighter Club is returning to Bradford for its annual swap meet on July 20 and 21.
This year it will be held in the 4th floor ballroom of the Marilyn Horne Hall. The hours will be from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. both days, with a special auction to be held at 1 p.m. July 21 with many special Zippo lighters up for auction.
There will be many new vendors, and Case knife collectors are welcome as well.
Vendor rates are $25 for non-members and $10 for members per table; tables are still available. Contact Bill Kolk at 616-997-6222 to reserve a spot.
A special commemorative lighter will be available at the swap meet.
The Great Lakes Lighter Club has been around the past 15 years and is a group of Zippo enthusiasts who love to talk Zippo lighters.
The swap meet is free to the public. Visitors are encouraged to bring Zippo lighters or Case knives for swapping, selling or appraising.
