Swap recommendation

[nanonubey]

USE ALL OF THE SPACE! :lmao: Great stuff I'll definitely be back next year! Wish I had more time to look around but the place was nutts had to grab my frags and run.:spin1:

 

[badsmitty]

I agree , it was packed to tight , lets give us all a lil room to be able to walk around
but other than that was the BEST frag swap I've been to

 

[Duff Man]

I agree,it was packed. Hard to navigate through the crowd at times. I walked out with some nice zoos though. I went there for orange and/or grape montiporas and got neither. Somebody was paying for a grape as I was walking past the table. Overall, it was a good time and I can't wait for the next one.

i believe several sellers had some, or was it just to crowded for you to buy?

yes it can be tight in there but overall it was a great day. just gota be patient when it's crowded.

We'll be more prepared for the crowd this year, so it'll work fine!

Boyd :fun4:

Its pretty sad when this is the response before the swap and when you get there its just same as last year and you cant even walk around and see what is being sold.

Rockford use to put on a great swap at a huge place to bad they arent doing that anymore.

I got there around 1:30 and with the crowd, I could see how I may have missed some. That's OK, it was a good time and I like the stuff I scored anyways. I hope there is something midway between now and next year at this time. The people are nice and the conversations are good.

I've been checking to see the dates for Rockford and haven't seen an update. Now I guess I know why. This is too bad

Tons of Pizza it was great awesome frags It rocked!

 

[Fish_wiz2]

I was only in there for literally 5 minutes :lol: too packed! Great seeing some old buddies but geez was it packed! Superbowl must have been the talk Wiz

 

[poidog81]

pleasseeee bigger venue and closer to the metro area next time.

 

[Drag Racer]

Wish I could have went but had to spend the day putting a trans in a jeep. So instead of spending money I made money.

 

[bluemike81]

I was there for nearly an hour before I ran out of cash. Came home with some pretty nice stuff though. It was pretty packed though, I had no idea that there were that many reefers in the area. My thanks go out to everyone who made it happen.

-1 on moving location its nice to finely drive less than 40 miles to get my fix!

 

[Harry Caray]

+1 on more space. Had a really good time. Met some nice people. Got some nice frags. Won a couple freebies also, thanx Menard for the donations :wavehand: It was nice to see you again after a few years. Does anyone now what Tom's screen name on here is? He was selling coral in the back corner.

 

[skjohn98]

I had a great time today several of us came over from NW Ind, we didnt mind the drive at all, the Pizza was very good and the raffle was great also (2 frags and a magazine) We helped out several vendors making sure they didnt have to take home much( 6 ) frags here There was a lot to offer - all that was the good stuff The only thing that I would hope you work on to improve, would be the lay out for the vendors, they really need more, if people are comfortable they are more likely to come back

Cant wait till the next one

I was so excited for this swap. Rented a car and everything when it was first announced. Then I found out the cheer squad I coach had Area competitions on the same day. The competition ran 2 hours over the 12:30pm end time. The girls didn't qualify for city-wide and I didn’t get to go to the frag swap.....what a crummy day.

 

[DaveBien]

I'm the big mouth that did the raffle. I spoke with Boyd about the layout. I think, if its held at the VFW again, the layout might be different. One big problem is with the electrical supply in the other area. I think its only along the walls in that area. Other then running HD cords on the floor... But somehow I think it will be worked out so there's more room.

The pizza was great, the PA made things easier, and don't knock the location. Its 5 minutes from my house! (I don't have any input as to the location, but...) LOL

 

[Pufferpunk]

Does anyone remember those swaps we had in that tiny room in the library???

 

[badazztealcobra]

I wasnt able to make it this year, but I think that it just needs a better layout.....

I know there are some issues with the power, so those probably need to be addressed, but other than that its a great location. Central to most everyone.... It's been at other locations in the past and the turnout isn't as good as this location.

 

[woowoodengy]

it was 1 hour from my house. the place was packed. and i had a great time. oh yes i'm broke came home with 8 of menards frags. 2 blasto's 2 acans. killer chalices & bio calcium from captive reef ecosystem and drygoods from dirk.

and yes a bigger place would be great.
