OMG yes. .... My first swap was neat. it was a tiny one held by the MTRC at a hotel near Opryland. it may have even been the first swap. I joined just before that. it was a tight crowded room with like 15 folks selling corals. NO big vendors. it then moved to a community center in Goodlettsville. 3 years here with the addition of a few companies but not many. I learned alot in those days from Gflat and several others in the group. it was then in Murfreesboro for two years. three years ago, it was in Antioch and I think that was the first year we had some larger commercial Vendors like Reefkoi, Pacific East Aquaculture and Midwest Saltwater (eye Candy Coral). Last year was phenomenal with High Def and several others joining the fray. This year, I feel like a kid again I am so uber excited to see the corals. One Vendor who has been with us the longest is Dirk. Make sure to thank him for sticking with us.
I tend to feel this has grown over the years from a simple local swap to being truly an Expo.
......and for the noobs, Bring a whole wad of cash. there will be plenty of places to drop it.
