Rovers Gear Swap
Como Park West Picnic Grounds, St Paul, MN, USIn person at Como Park in St. Paul – West Picnic Grounds, near the SE corner of the parking lot (near the restroom building).
No presentation – come to the Gear Swap! Twice a year the Minnesota Rovers host a gear swap at one of the regular Tuesday night meetings. Anyone who has any type of gear that they are no longer using can bring it to the swap and either sell it outright or make a trade with someone else. The gear is in good shape, and usually, the owners have simply chosen to upgrade or no longer have a need for that particular piece of equipment. It is a great way to get your hands on some gear if you just want to try it out without having to make a huge investment in brand new equipment.
Note: If you are a seller, you may want to start setting up before 7:00 p.m. Some buyers come before 7:00 to start shopping early.
P.S. Tell your outdoor friends about this great opportunity to buy gear they need OR sell gear they no longer need!
