There were no checks in the mail today. The swap/sale has been called off. If you sent $your $ will be returned promptly upon receiving it. I guess this is a bad time of year to hold a swap? Unfortunately, the owners cannot hold the event on speculation....
It takes extra $ to light/heat the space (it’s a huge space).

They will try again in the spring if the space is available.
