I'm thinking about going to the chicago swap meet for the first time this year. What can you guys tell a guy that hasnt gone before? Some questions I have:

-does it cost anything to get in?
-do most people trade baits or are there a lot for sale?
-if I want to bring some stuff, do i have to pay for a table?
-how many people go to this thing?

thanks!

Sam

-Doesn't cost anything, but you should bring some canned food items to donate.
-People buy/sell/trade
-Don't have to pay for a table.
-a lot.

Behave yourself when there. My doctor and lawyer say I can't ever go back. I don't think I'm supposed to even enter the state of IL. I do though, because I have an I-Pass. I wear sunglasses and drive fast through the toll booths.
