Location: Northwest Chicago Burbs | Sadly, I do not have time to organize this, so no Swap Meet at the Chicago Show in 2020. Hopefully we can revive the event in 2021.
123 years in a row was a pretty good run. |

| Thank you for many years of providing a fun event in a slow midwest winter. |

| WOW! this is sad news, the swap meet is one of the reasons we make the trip from Ohio. Always was a great time and meet great people! maybe there still can be a swap meet just not an official one? at the hotel or bar some were? thoughts everyone? |

| That means there will be twice as much gear to choose from next year! |

That's seriously a rumor?
I did not have the time to put into running this right, so I did not run it. For the record, the Swap Meet never had any affiliation with either the show or MuskieFIRST. I ran it (with some help, thanks Will and others!) to put on a fun event and create a way to help the local food pantry and no, I never made a dime off the event beyond a few really great deals on baits, same as everyone else! |
