Whew! What a crazy day everyone. Here's some pics of the tail end since I forgot to get the camera out until near the end. Too bad I didn't get any pics of the feeding frenzy that happened near the start of the swap.

Talkin' turkey


Look what you missed if you weren't here!


Check out that awesome skimmer.


The spread.


Is this safe?

Say Franklin

There is a great looking Skimmer for sale in the 3rd picture. Do you know who it belonged too, as I am sure it is still available. LOL

PS I think I saw it at a previous Swap Meet.

Great event. I would say that a new standard has been set for food! (The ribs were worth waiting for...)

That is a super looking skimmer! I can't believe nobody scooped it up.

Thanks for hosting!

See how Anthony is boasting about the size of his lightsabre in the pic?
