it's really really fun!!! It is the friday night after the opening ceremonies and teams bring all sorts of stuff from their state. Everyone trades things from their states with other states...last year i was soo lucky cause i got a cheese hat from Wisconsin!!! :lol:
Events this year:

Disease
I am extremely mad that Experimental is not at regionals!

The swap meet's LOADS of fun!!! You just get to hang around and trade some stuff with fellow science olympiad-ers :lol: It's just a great time. If the keynote speaker is rly boring, you'll probably doze off at the opening ceremony and then regain ALL your energy at teh swap meet. If teh speaker is interesting (like last year) well then you'll still have you energy :lol: :lol:

Also, congrats to your whole team for being champs!! You guys must be really excited!

Yeah, what he said, and a lot more!

Last year at the swap meet, it took place outside in a courtyard (i think) and many of the lampposts either didn't work or were turned off, so you had to rely on flashy LED lights and the rave sweat that everyone was giving off :lol:

It's usually a competition to see whoever can get the lobster hat first, or cheese hat, or uncle sam hat!
