A Great Swap Meet Weekend!

Well the big event has come and gone and I must say we had the most fun we have ever had since the first Comic, Toy, & Collectibles Swap Meet way back in July of 2006!

What started out as a tiny little show that came out of nowhere has really become more popular over the years than we could ever have imagined. This was our first two day event and in so many ways it exceeded our expectations. We estimate that between 160 and 200 people attended over the two days including many families. Our dealers were great and our attendees really seemed to enjoy the selection as well as the other fun activies we had to offer. Thank you to everyone who attended Saturday and/or Sunday and for letting us know how much you like our efforts.

PurrKayla's face painting and super-hero mask making was quite popular with the kids and she told us that she had more fun at the show. In fact she made the show! We would like to apologize that some aspects like the Comic Book Trivia contest and the William Shatner-Off fell through. This was our first attempt to mix some scheduled programming into our Swap Meets on this scale and some aspects need a little work.

We have had inquires both from those in attendence and our dealers about when and where we will have the next Swap Meet. At present we have our eye on September and hope to return to the Crowne Plaza a second time. For now plans are very tentative but there will be updates on this site as things progress.

And be sure to check back for photos from the Swap Meet coming soon.
