Edmonton Saltwater Swapmeet - June 23, 2013

[howdy20012002]

I thought I would see if there was any interest on having a garagesale/swapmeet type of thing where people can come and sell frags, equipment, etc.
like Fragfest but in the northend verses the southend.
I am willing to host it at my house, I have a large area where we can set up tables.
I am willing to do the BBQ thing with proceeds going to the Food Bank.
what do you think???
plus I will see what I can do for doing up a frag blowout
if there is no interest, then I will let it go.
if there is interest, then we will try it.
if it works well, maybe it can become a bi-annual thing - kicking off the summer and sometime in the fall.
BTW, all stores in edmonton are welcome to participate if they so desire.
the address is 8305 117 ave
and it will be from 12 to 5 pm

I like the idea. Just a bright idea not Father's Day weekend as many people will have other priorities.

I'm interested. Willing to volunteer some time to help too!

This makes sense Father's Day is June 16 and I'm in Seatle visiting my sister June 6-10. So if its on June 2, 23 or 30 Doug and I will be there.

June 23 it is.
I am going to run it regardless of what the response is on here.
I totally agree about not being on father's day
JmeJReefer I will definitely be looking for help running the BBQ as I will still have to run the store.
anyone else willing to cook up a few hotdogs and hamburgers for charity?

for everyone else:
start making those frags to exchange/sell
I will set up a couple of tables for people to use.
I will make it legal like and get a garage sale permit and start advertising the event to my non-canreef customers and on Kijiji.

If any other stores want to participate, just announce your intention on this thread.

bump to increase interest.

I will come down with some frags, been doing it every year so far... no point in stopping now! Plus free hot dogs.... who can say no

so far 2 stores participating...
I will be running a draw - with prizes yet to be determined -
perhaps other vendors would like to put forth prizes as well?

I have about 10 totes of stuff I will be selling off as well.

is there any interest in this????
I don't want to be eating hotdogs and hamburgers for the next 6 months straight

[Mike-fish]

I will certainly be attending
