The STL BikeFed's swap meet is one of the best swap meets in the region--I've got a nice pair of shoes I picked up at the swap meet two years ago for an unbelievable price. Well worth your while to visit!
STL Bike Fed's Karen Karabell says that vendors have already signed up from Alabama, Iowa, Wisconsin and Colorado,as well as many from Missouri & Illinois, of course.
