Events & Shows

A great place for your summer electronics shopping! LED Strip Lights, Digital Meters, connections and cables - Get there early, say 6 to 8AM and you should be fine to find the bargains and be comfortable. No worries though, we will have our fans and sun-shade up. Still the best early morning shopping for great computer and electronics deals! We've done this little meet since the mid 1990's and still find a great crowd and fun for all! 1950's and 40's music playing, the 5 and Diner right nearby, with restrooms and great food for the whole family. It should be great Arizona "summer" weather! No worry, we have shade and fans!
