I hit the swap with a pocket full of dough!! Had a great time too!! Another awesome swap for CORA. I will hit this swap every year. I dont carry a gun. I also work in the westside of Dayton. Shootings all around the place. Never had a problem.
Let me just clarify this for ya.....It was a great swap. Thanks to all the cora members and to Zeppelin for lining up a great one this year!! There were several vendors taking credit cards. Cash gets you a better deal and also gives you more power to haggle. LOL funny stuff.

It was a good swap, but I have a great idea; internet connection so people can use credit cards.  I'm not carrying $300-400 in cash without a sidearm in an unknown location, and concealed carry isn't allowed in the building.  I can also say that I overheard visitors and guests grousing about this (the lack of an internet connection, not the inability to carry a concealed weapon).  BTW, many vendors wouldn't take a check, either.  So, maybe a point for next years' gig, coz without it, I won't be coming again.  Hate to be the one complaining, whiny voice, but, well, there it is.

Pretty sure YZreef accepted plastic.  But then you have to pay the premium.    Most vendors at a swap are so low on price, paying the service charges on CC payments.

Forget I said anything regarding an internet connection.  I ran out to an ATM and got the extra cash I needed.  In case nobody noticed, I did say it was a good swap and I had a great time.

It's not about who carries a gun, or where, one's life experiences changes one's outlook on life.  Until you've walked a mile and so forth.  I'm not carryin' a gun to a frag swap.  I'll just find a frickin' ATM during the show.  'Nuff said on the subject.

Nice job, CORA.

Thanks everyone for the compliments. 

Wi-fi has been asked for the last 2 years, but that place really doesn't have a need for it otherwise. Thats been the only drawback.  Other than that, its been a great place with the building size, large parking lot, etc.  We'll have to look further into it though as far as providing it ourselves, if even for a day.

Thanks again for coming out everyone.  :)
PEACE.....from Zeppelin

It's YZ reefs cousin lol.   

Next year just get someone in the club with a cellphone that can act as a wifi access point. Just keep it locked and only give sponsors the password to keep trafic down.
