Bruce, we had our first swap meet last fall at the height of the pandemic and it went off without a hitch. With things improving at a slow steady pace, and having had workshops all winter long, we decided to do an outdoor event with large amounts of space instead of Vcf East. Vcf East is going to be in the fall so having the swap meet in the spring made the most sense. However, our goal is to have one more than just one per year so perhaps as things progress we may be able to find the available dates to do a spring and a fall swap meet.

Might I suggest reprising this swap meet in the autumn -- after we've had a chance to get vaccinated? Bruce NJ
