Hello! Jeff? Presumably this will include how to get to the new location when the announcements go out? Brookdale is where exactly? That's the big sticky point. ---- Gregg C Levine gregg.drwho8@gmail.com "This signature was once found posting rude messages in English in the Moscow subway."

This is a bit early and we will be sending out more details about the swap meet once our heads are clear from VCF East.
If you look at Google Maps and count the spaces at 800 Monmouth boulevard, you will see about 160 parking spaces by the entrance, plus another 50 spaces in the parking lot next to it. Since this is the first time using the Brookdale parking lot, we are still contemplating the best configuration as to where vendors should go, where the general public should go.
We will *not* be using the parking lot on Monmouth Boulevard that we have used in the past. This is because of the impending creation of Marconi Park in that space. Since we had a rough timeline for when it would be started (Late spring, early summer), we decided to go with the certain option of Brookdale's parking lot rather than the uncertain one of the Wall Township parking lot.
Keep in mind that we are renting the parking lot from Brookdale, so we will have to raise vendor fees to accommodate. The previous space was free since it is owned by Wall Township. General admission will remain the same at $5 per person and free for under 12.

Good afternoon to all:
I have a couple of questions about the swap meet parking.
Are the attendees/buyers supposed to park in the small lot which has about 30 spaces?
I see the large lot has about 130 spaces and I assume that that is for vendors?
Or is parking for attendees/buyers across the street?
Please let me know. Thank you.
