Many BARC members will be in attendance, so if you are considering making the trip ask around, and you may be able to carpool (if you want). This is a multiple-day event, but the primary buy/sell day starts early on Friday. If you plan on only attending one day, Friday is the day. If you are coming up on Saturday, plan on arriving first thing in the morning as some sellers start packing up early, around noon, even though the Fest ends at 2 PM.
