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. Mike Rosen Sent from: My extremely complicated, hand held electronic device.
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. On Tue, Apr 21, 2026 at 12:50 PM Sentrytv via vcf-midatlantic < vcf-midatlantic@lists.vcfed.org> wrote:

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."

It is across the street from where the swat meet used to be. As indicated on the webpage for the swap meet it is at 800 Monmouth Boulevard, Wall, NJ. I say 6th street in Wall and near 800 monmouth boulevard The swap meet webpage: https://vcfed.org/vcf-swap-meet/ - *Street*: 6th Street, Wall, NJ, Brookdale Parking near 800 Monmouth Boulevard in Wall, NJ I will post a map with it circled soon when I have a chance to catch my breath, take a nap and not be distracted by the VCF East wrap up which is still ongoing.

I don't believe so. So the swap meet used to be in a large parking lot on Monmouth Boulevard with no exact address. Now it is across the street from there at 800 Monmouth Boulevard (Brookdale Wall Campus). So it is is across the street (Brookdale parking lot) from where it was last time (Big parking lot on Monmouth Boulevard).

My comment would've been clearer if the world had stuck with fixed-width fonts for email. See above; instead of "swap meet", you said "swat meet". -Dave -- Dave McGuire, AK4HZ New Kensington, PA
He was commenting on the typo swat for swap. I suspect your way too tired to notice typos. Arrows didn't point to correct spot on phone. On Tue, Apr 21, 2026 at 06:13:20PM -0400, Jeffrey Brace via vcf-midatlantic wrote:
