or?
For me it was a day out with beautiful weather. We had 3 solid days of rain, so I think everyone was just enjoying walking around and chatting.
the shock was the mount of vendors. dont ever recall seeing so many. Maybe a lot of people were looking to cash in on their garage junk as a way of making the bills?
Inflation has hit everyone- admit it or not.

A similar gauge is how much of the 'big ticket' items were sold. There will always be 'garbage' that comes to swap meets as people are purging their own garbage. Good merchandise will always sell to someone whereas common run-of-the-mill stuff that comes year after year without selling tends to kill a meet. And yes, inflation always hurts our hobby.
