It was my first visit and I didn't know what to expect. I had gone to the Kane County flea market the day before -- searching for just one piece of worthwhile rust. At Garfield farm, there were about 20+ vendors, lots of every kind of tool, with something for everyone. There were plenty of user tools in addition to some rare pieces. The tables had plenty of value items that made me regret buying most of my planes on eBay!
I know, it sucks hearing about this afterwards... but next year will be here soon! I'm going to start saving now :)
