Vintage bicycle events in the winter?
Are there any well known vintage bicycle events here in the USA (prefer east coast or midwest) like swap meets or exhibitions that happen in the winter?
I was thinking of speaking to a local bike shop or two that are into vintage stuff to see if it might be possible to do something like this here in the Youngstown Ohio area if there isn't anything like this already. I know there is a swap meet that happens at the Bicycle Heaven in Pittsburgh but I think that is in the summer.

I think they still have the Westminster MD show around mid February.

at one time this meet was held at the Days Inn in Butler (north of Pittsburgh)
last year held at 'Shindigs' - nice spot (in a remote / rural area) - snowed like a b!tch
