Robin Culver, the owner and event promoter, said that in the past, the Stop Swap and Save has drawn over 4,000 visitors from six states and Washington, D.C.

“The swap was started [23 years ago] by my husband and college friend,” she said.

Over the years, the event has grown, Now, some of the vendors provide demos or hands-on displays.

“And we have a raffle that runs every hour,” Culver said. “We raffle off Swap shirts, gift certificates from Road ID, and many items that our vendors donate.”

Culver hopes to see a big turnout.
