Gerry Williams held his first Carrboro CD and Record Show in 2003, and the event is now so popular that he holds it twice a year.
The 23rd Bi-annual Carrboro CD and Record Show was held Sunday at the Carrboro Century Center.
Williams said he enjoys putting on the event because of the people.
“It’s a lot of fun; everyone seems to be really nice," he said. "Most of the dealers I’ve dealt with are nice, most of the customers are really nice and having a good time, especially the day after the team has won the big basketball game — everybody’s happy."
The event has around 25 to 28 vendors and is so popular that Williams said he has a waiting list of vendors who want to sell at the event.
Greg Neal, one of the vendors at the show who also promotes shows all over the Southeast, said he has been coming to the event for about seven years.
“It’s just fun, lots of fun,” he said.
Neal is especially glad that the record business has been coming back and that people are interested in records again.
“I love music and I love the fact that this format, which has been dead for so many years, has come back again — the visual element of it and the sound of it, it sounds so much better," Neal said.
