shade. Don't forget a hat and sun screen lotion for walking around the Swapfest. Also
bring plastic to cover your gear and an umbrella to cover you in case of rain. There is no
electricity in the parking lot, bring a (quiet) generator if you need AC power. We don't
provide garbage service, so if you bring something in and it doesn't sell, be sure you
haul it away again.
You may bring your own edibles but please don't start selling to compete with the
vendor who paid for the privilege. Violators will be asked to cease selling or leave the
Swapfest.
