So a bunch of folks with more knowledge of what transpired yesterday with the closing of the Shriner's Swap Meet shared that with me today at the Genuine Chevrolet/GMC Truck Club of KC's meeting and picnic.
Turns out the "shopping center/mall" property where the event was to be held transferred ownership recently. The Shriner's reportedly did all they could to transfer the previous contract agreement with the new property owners, including providing essential liability insurance, etc, and was supposedly approved to continue the event.
At the last minute (Saturday morning) the new owners evidently changed their minds and withdrew the approved contract and sent people to turn the Shriner's and vendors away at the gate.
Just a SWAG on my part, but unless the Shriner's find another suitable event space, this may be the end of another long time swap meet event.
