Michigan Summer Swap - Flint, MI - July 27

The hours are 12:15 to 3:30pm. Admission is $5 per person, kids 16 and under are free.

2149 N Dort Hwy, Flint, MI 48506

Looking forward to this Swap.

[Xkamx]

Yeah!! Close to home! :)

[caveman]

Long drive for me, but I think I may go for a ride.

[Tank2379]

See you guys there

[jimsflies]

Just a note to let you know that tables are going quick. Only 7 full tables remaining.

Is there a vendor list posted? I don't see any names in the table layout pic

[msumatt]

I used to do just one swap a year. Now I'm selling at my 3rd swap this year. I think this addiction is getting worse! :smash:

[jimsflies]

@jimsflies (http://www.captivereefs.com/forum/members/jimsflies/)

Is there a vendor list posted? I don't see any names in the table layout pic

I will try to update the table map later today. You can currently see the vendors in the drop down menu of the reservation system (http://www.captivereefs.com/forum/cartplog.php?do=viewcategory&cartplogcatid=5).

[dputt88]

only 2 half tables?

[jimsflies]

only 2 half tables?

If there is a need, and full tables are remaining I can convert more to half tables. With the past few swaps there doesn't seem to be as much demand for half tables.

Jimsflies do you need any volunteers for the flint swap? Would love to help out. being I'm local I could do 26th and 27th if needed.

I might. I'll get with you before the swap. I appreciate you volunteering. :)

[Myers13]

Exciting, this will be my first time attending a swap! Bummer that I'm still working on getting a sump and lighting for my new 90 gallon :tear: However I am only about 5 minutes away from the swap location, so if you need any more volunteers, let me know. If I'm not busy, I'd love to help out.

[jimsflies]

Finally, here is the latest map showing the vendors who have signed up so far.

Vendors, please note that the map has changed quite a bit as I finally got into the hall get some measurements. So the table number and locations you have registered for have changed. When I filled in the new map, I gave priority to those that signed up first and considered the location you had originally selected and tried to mirror that as much as I could and take into consideration other notes and comments that had been sent to me. Hopefully this works for most of you. If for some reason, you want a change, please let me know and I will do my best to accommodate.
