[johnnyb]

I saw on the Bay Area02 facebook page the date has been set for May 4th, 2024- is this official?  I figured I'd see it here right away.

Hi Johnny--

You correctly saw the post on Facebook, Swap & Show-2024 is this May 4, the first Saturday in May.  While this is the date on our calendar, before announcing the event we needed to confirm availability with the Brisbane Marina and to get Kile Brekke's graphics.  Now we're ready to post the event so watch for it in the FAQ calendar.

Can't wait. Missed last year's somehow. Pretty much the only car event I do anymore lol

Well, we needed to cancel the remainder of Swap & Show-2024-- about 10:30 AM we realized the wind & rain were too much to continue.  We could NOT setup the raffle in the wet wind (how to keep the PA system dry and audible, how to display items and keep the item names and ticket boxes in place) and things below the 6 canopies were getting increasingly wet. Trying to sort bags,T-shirts and items to purchase (like sweatshirts, kids shirts, extra hats) was turning into chaos.  While there were 33 cars parked on the lawn and maybe 10 more in the swap area, everyone was congregating under a canopy.  Some people who started setting up at 7AM were pretty soaked.

It was a super effort but we were overcome by the storm.

We have opened discussions of a "replacement" Swap&Show in the Fall but we're still in the discussion stage. Or maybe July would work better,  Stay tuned!

Something in the summer would be fun like June/july

It was definitely wet and windy and I personally completely understood why we cancelled. Just saying.
