What about getting all the people that have something to sell to just rent tables at the Richmond swap meet (Feb 25th) Table rental is $12/table ... and it's already an annual event. True, it IS mostly Bass oriented equipment/baits, but there are tables that have Crappie oriented equipment/baits ... and if our people get in on the action soon enough, there'd be even more Crappie fishing related stuff to choose from. And if you don't have but a few items, partner up with someone else and share a table.

Their ad says there's a maximum of 200 tables to rent ... so one could call and ask how many tables are still available.

Not trying to be a Debbie Downer, or sabotage your efforts, but just offering an exit ramp in the event there's not enough overall interest & participation to warrant having to rent a place & possibly have to charge an exorbitant amount per table or admission to cover the cost.

.... just thinking out loud.
