Ohio Frag Swaps

[crumbletop]

It looks like there are two upcoming frag swaps in Ohio. One in Columbus on 9/30 and the other in Cinci on 10/21. I wonder what the difference is, and whether it is worth going to one vs the other. It looks like there will be some great frags available at the one in Columbus:

Jack,
I don't know whether one is more worthwhile to go to than another, but Columbus is about another 1.5 hours past Cinicinnati (through one of the flattest and most boring parts of Ohio). That's enough to make me skip that one and go to Cincinnati instead. Also, Columbus is home of the Buckeyes, and after this weekend I don't think I'm prepared to go visit (PSU alumni ).

I've driven that several times on the way through detroit or up to cleveland. I've heard that the Cincy swap is a really good one, but these are so close together and I've seen a bunch of posts about the all ohio. The cincy board is almost dead. I wonder if they are usually this close together and I wonder because of all the activity that seems to be going on re the all ohio whether the cincy one won't get the turnout in terms of corals that it has in the past. I haven't been able to find any buzz going on about the cincy one and lots about the all ohio.

I know they have there own website and forum so maybe they are all talking there. I found it searching once but I can't remember what it is. I went to the first frag swap in Cincinnati and I wasn't really all that impressed. There were a bunch of vendors selling corals but the prices were pretty high. Most people were buying corals but there weren't many hobbyists selling or trading. From what I understand it has grown but I didn't like the first one nearly as much as the ones we have had.
