Do we know what dates brought in the most revenue in the past years?

Revenue is more based on how much effort is put in by the frag swap committee.  #1 Revenue producer is the raffle, and that takes alot of legwork. 

Easter is late April 16th, 2017.    I might recommend that we do April 8th for our swap, or to be honest October wasn't a bad time to do it either.

Called the hall we used this year to check availability for March 2017 Frag Swap. All Saturday's in March are available (4,11,18,25). Anyone have input on the date?
    -2/5 CARE (Cincinnati)
    -2/19 Lansing, Mi
    -2/25 LEAR - (Cleveland)
    -3/11 BuckeyeReef (Bowling Green)
    -3/25 IndyMas - (Indianapolis)

Past 5 Ohio Reef Swaps
    10/15/16
    3/21/15
    3/29/14
    3/23/13
    3/24/12

You sure that Care4Reefs has a Swap on 2-5?

They just told me they have no date and no idea when it would be.

All they said was it Would Definetly Happen for Sure.

CincyReef has a Swap on 1-14

I have this as the Current Swap Line Up for Early 2017

    -1/14 CincyReef (Cincinnati)
    -1/22 Ann Arbor, MI
    -2/19 Lansing, MI
    -2/25 LEAR - (Cleveland)

Either March or Fall Seems Good.

It has always been in March in the Past.

But the Fall Swap was Great too.

The only thing is it is harder to plan a swap in the fall as there are 10 swaps in the Midwest that Happen in an 8 Week Time Frame :(

Since Most of the Early 2017 Swaps have already been announced 3-4 or 3-18 would work.

Care4Reefs was never mentioned in that Thread (2017 Frag Swap List) or the One on Reef2Reef.

Perhaps you were looking at the 2016 Frag Swap Thread where they had it on 2-6-16

http://forums.care4reefs.com/viewtopic.php?f=75&t=5012&sid=c0eacbe85e7f3b0c9460efad32edfd00

I posted in that thread and got a reply.

Are we having two frag swaps? This post says October and the post from AJ about the new name says spring.  Trying to get it on my calendar correctly.

Take no offense, as I'm just thinking aloud, but I think with the results of the previous frag swap I would have considered not doing one until you have the man power to do so.  If you don't spend money to advertise, I don't think you will get the crowd you desire.

We have decided that due to the time crunch, the spring swap would not be as good as we want, which is why we moved the date to October.  This way we have more time to solicit raffle prizes, make preparations for the venue, fill vendor spots and do all the other things involved with the swap.

I agree, this year we plan on spending a lot more time and resources advertising, planning and executing to produce a very nice swap.
