We are having a swap meet for anyone that would like to sell, swap, and buy excess sporting gear on Saturday March 8, 2014 from 9 am to 12 pm.

If there are left over tables we will offer them up for donation only basis for those who would like to sell, and cannot reserve, afford, or do not need a full table. Contact me at [email protected] for table availability and registration.

Seller set up will happen between 7:30 and 9 am.

Buyers can stop by free from 9-12 pm. This will be a free event for buyers, donations gladly accepted. Bring cash and change if possible to make it easier on the sellers who will have limited abilities to make change throughout the day.

Early birds can get in before 9am only with a $ 5 donation, after 9am admittance is free.

The Youth Ministry will be on hand to sell coffee,baked goods, and lunch. Please support them with their fund raiser.

We will have plenty of tables, chairs, and room to spread out in this facility. Please DO NOT call the facility directly since this is a private event, contact myself with any questions or issues.

[Treblemaker]

Over 20 tables reserved so far with a little over a month to go!

Bob's Outdoors will be selling the remainder of his salmon stuff:

I have a bunch of leftover inventory from Bob's Outdoors, including some F11 Rapalas for Browns, Some offshore tackle stuff, a lot of Opti-dodgers, some misc. reels in boxes, and bins full of samples still in the package.

I also have a bunch of used equipment including rods, a net, some downriggers (Walker and Big Jon)

This is it for my Salmon Fishing career, so everything will go at whatever price gets it sold. I plan on bringing nothing back home.

I worked on the pulled pork this weekend, turned out fine if I say so myself.... Snow smoked pulled pork sandwiches available while they last.

Hey Tim

Didn't you win a new smoker at a fishing for Q a year or 2 back? That don't look like it?? but with the stuff on top looking as good as it does I wouldn't change anything.

[rbradley]

Do you have a half table left? I found some stuff I could part with

[SeaCatMich]

Thank you Tim for getting this all put together again this year. The number of buyers seemed to be down from past years -- weather may have been too nice . Still managed to sell stuff and actually sold more than I bought, so from a seller perspective it was very successful!

Another great year was hoping for better turnout but with the Outdoorsman having it's annual sale and seminars a lot of people went there instead. The pulled pork was great I looked at my stuff Thursday night and decided to just hand out flyers for our tournament and hang out with friends.

Would have loved to have gone but planned my vacation before the date was moved. Hopefully it will happen earlier next year as it has been held previous years
