[vcf-midatlantic] The Swap Meet was great!

[Tony Bogan]

Or was great to see so many people at the swap meet today! I was only able to spend a few hours in the morning due to work schedule, but the number of vendors and guests was a sight to see and the selection of goods was just over the top.

Things went beyond my expectations, and it was also great to see faces I haven’t seen in awhile.

Thank you to everyone for making this such a successful event!
