I can't believe Chicago isn't on this list. Cmas is going to fold. They don't do anything any more. Not even worth paying the membership fee.
Thanks for the list though atleast there's 4 or so within a couple hours drive.

 

[Addicted2ACRO's]

Please let me know if you hear anything in the Miami, Ft. Lauderdale Florida area, besides RAP in Orlando.
Thank you

There will be many Chicago Swaps. (I believe CMAS had 2 in 2015 so they will probably have another 2 in 2016).

They just have not been listed yet.

I live in Michigan and there is only 1 Michigan Swap currently listed but there are 6 total (maybe more this year).

They just have to be announced.

After Lansing, Ann Arbor will be announced, then Flint. etc.

Most Swaps are not planned that far in advance.

A ton more will be added throughout the year.

As they are Announced the List will be Updated.

P.S. If anybody knows of any Swaps not on this List please post the info in this Thread and I will add it to the Master List. Thanks.
