Would love to make it up there, but with the Tri-county auction going on the 18th I will most likely be broke

I wish I were there to get a table. I lived only a mile from I-90 so that was a straight shot (40 miles) for me.

Yup. Great venue. Lots of parking on the side for vendors. Huge parking lot out front for patrons. How many swaps have food? We do.

We're done with our swap celebration steak dinner. It was a blast. I'm sure Jon will pop in with some details. We sold some stuff, had a super good time, and we doubled our attendance from the first swap.
