Title: 2016 Swap Meet
Post by: bob o on October 06, 2015, 11:00:58 AM
Saturday March 5th 2016, 12 noon same place in Livonia. man time files. so far same as the years before, but this year bring anything you want to swap, sell or give away. The silent auction to help out a family in need of a little help will be back this year hoping for more stuff to auction off. See the link http://breanna.brandirawks.com/. so if you have any new things to donate for the auction it would be a big help. this is the Second year for this auction so lets Beat last years $500, yea $500+ it was a blow out.
Food for the swap meet, Pizzas ahhhhh we had like 15 pizzas last year no one left hungry. I make a batch or 2 of chili every year and as always one mild one hot and maybe one pulled pork/beef it's really good, you are invited to bring a plate (or order a pizza not 10 hahaha) to pass if you want, chips, cookies, more meat for the grill etc you get the idea. i start this out this year with a case of beer or a homebrew keg or two, light beers are up to you.
so bring a fist full of 20's or just kick back and BS about how fast your boat is or what your will be tied on the end of your line this comming spring.

yea, copy and paste is a great tool
i will be posting this on BBC and FB the more the better EH!

if i forgot anything i'm sure i'll hear about it, PM, Message or whatever. This will be posted over on BBC Michigan and i'll do the Event invite on Facebook also.

It will be here before we know it. Thanks Bob, I look forward to it each year. I think that everyone that shows should bring something to put up for auction.( Think of it as an entry fee)  Hope to see everyone again...later

The auction thing is a good idea.  The proceeds could go to a charitable organization and you have one.  I've never been to one of these swap meets.............but I've never been to a DK Open either.  Too far off but it's on the calendar.  I also hear that bob o is the host with the most.............. :o

I think my brother is going to show up this time. He has gathered up a bunch of crankbaits he doesn't use anymore. So if you are after some cranks there will be plenty to choose from.
