The Friday "Swap and Smoke" will be in the smoking tent. People can sell their pipes and related items for free. People start lining up for this event EARLY. This continues all morning and afternoon. Lets say that the tent becomes loud, crowded, and very fragrant. There are lots of pipes and cash that changes hands there.

The crowd will start getting bigger tonight and MUCH bigger the rest of the weekend. Be sure to talk to me if you see me. I am the bald guy, with a grey hair and beard. I probably will be smoking a pipe.
