The final swap meet of the 2024 season will be held on Sunday, November 17th. The general public is always welcome, and admission is free! This meet will be indoors.
Schedule:
7:00AM: Doors open for setup
8:00AM: Swap Meet starts
10:30AM: Swap meet ends. Donation auction follows announcements and election of officers.
11:00AM: Board meeting follows donation auction. All members are welcome to join.
As typical of most swap meets, the items are for sale by individual collectors, and most are one-of-a-kind. So for best selection (and the best deals), BE EARLY! But please stay around and get to meet some of the club members. These swap meets are a great way to connect with other local collectors that share your interests. By socializing at the meets you can find others that may have what you are looking for, radios & parts, people that can service your radios, and you can make some good friends.
Swap meet spaces are $10 per seller (tables are NOT provided at this location, please bring your own (chairs are provided)). WARCI membership is required to sell ($18/year, membership available on-site or https://warci.org/join/).
