Swap-Fest:
We have 38 tables reserved for the Swap-Fest with a total of 73 tables available.  Glenn has asked everyone to talk-up the Swap-Fest as much as possible so that we can get a good showing of guests on Saturday.  Setup will begin at 6am on Saturday morning, with the doors opening to the public at 8am.  Signage will be in-place tomorrow evening.  We have 9 door prizes available, giving them away every 30 minutes starting at 8:30am.  We did not get the Pepsi trailer this year, so concessions will be inside the building.  We will be selling donuts, soft-drinks, coffee, and hot-chocolate.  Harry Adams, Ken Ledford, and Michael Ledford will work the concession stand.  David Hook and Sharon Adams will sell tickets.  We will need a couple of volunteers to help with parking and showing the tailgaters where to unload their stuff.  We need everyone in place by 7:30am.  If we get more than 25 tailgaters, we will have to start putting them outside.  We will setup for the Swap-Fest tomorrow evening at 7pm.
