    Ventura Porsche Swap Meet / Vendor Show 2012 Still happening?

    It has been several years since I've seen a Porsche swap meet/vendor show held at the Ventura Fairgrounds in late Sept or early Oct. I know it used to be held yearly but its been a while and not heard anything. Is that show still in planning or has this event been somehow become discontinued? If not, has anyone heard of the the show's status this year?
    Hundreds of cars, lap around area, tons of people, tech sessions, vendors, swap meet, nearby beach, friendly people, neat place to learn about interesting car.

    Holy Cow! I had no idea... Always enjoyed the drive up to Ventura, not to mention the swapmeet event. Too bad...

    Unfortunately, the event fell into the wrong hands an they killed it. Bob Campbell did a great job and he used his connection to the Porsche community to make it happen. The guys that bought it four years ago had no connection and the event lost steam. Too bad, as it was a great event at it's peak.

    Yeah, The Ventura Autofest was a "must-do" event. We had fantastic caravans up to the event including breakfast at Santa Paula airport.... drives to Santa Barbara for dinner via back roads.... ahhh the good 'ol daze.
