Thanks for sharing, free admission and trunk swap setup sounds great for casual sellers. Do you know if there’s any limit on selling spots or if pre-registration is needed?
IMPORTANT UPDATE: I don't see a way to edit my original post, so I am writing this here. This event will NOT be a combined event with BARA and MCRN. The MCRN event will be the same date, but a different location. I don't have the full details on that. The BARA event will be the same location (Five Pines Ministries) but on September 19th. All other details for the BARA event at Five Pines remain the same. Additionally, the BARA website is down until further notice. Check out our Facebook page for updates. https://www.facebook.com/W8MAI/
For the BARA event (that was moved to September), there is no pre-registration needed. Spots are first come, first served. There's no real limit on what can be sold as long as its legal to sell.
