Ah. Yeah, unfortunately I'm getting the feeling that the Cary Swapfest is not
going to continue much longer. It used to be in an air conditioned center, then
it moved last year into a parking structure, and this year seems to be stuffed
into a small outdoor shelter at a park. Outside. In July.
The theme seems to be 'Even worse than last time!'
The reason it moved from inside to the parking garage was because
of the price of the inside (upper 3 figures or possibly close to 4 figures,
can't recall exactly) compared to the cost of parking garage (in the
2 figures range). They wanted to do it in the same parking garage
this year and apparently had a contract with the parks and recs
department. Unfortunately, it was then discovered (apparently
to the P&R surprise) that the P&R department didn't have
control of the parking garage and that their contract was null and void!
So, there was apparently a scramble to find a new location.
Cheers,
Tanner
