Day 6, as busy as ever.  Scott, Kaara, Angela, Amber and Julie woman'd and man'd the Swaps.  I haven't counted the swaps yet...the tallies got out of control....

Okay, I counted them!  I'm calling it ONE HUNDRED SWAPS today, for a Grand Total of Four Hundred and Ninety-Nine!  Uff-da!

And...the troubadour was back with another song to play!

Enjoy!

We reckon there were 118 swaps today!  On three different cameras, but I'm adding them as they come in....enjoy! 

Thanks to Jennie, Jocelyn, Kim and Allison for your splendid work under the hat today!

 
 
People kept coming in to swap!  Some with very, very, very wet feet.  Including Leah and Dawn, our amazing Shanty Helpers of the Day!
 
 
The rain has not stopped people from Swapping!

Matt, Angela, and Shanty-town Bike Race Veteran Cassandra were super-shanty-troupers in the rain!
 
 
one hundred and sixty-two swaps of art!!
 
 
 
 
We are overwhelmed with the excitement of today!  We had no idea there would be 94 swaps!  Woah!  Opening Day blew our minds!  Nothing like 30+ degree temps to get Minnesotans enthusiastic in January!

People were so excited about what they left with, and it was fascinating to see who swapped what for what.  Some deliberated and wandered around, some went straight to the piece they wanted. 

We hope to add caption details...but with 94 swaps it may be a few days.

Great day on the ice!  See you tomorrow!
