Let's start this special season with a "splash"!
See you all there!

Yay ..... Fun fun fun.

Just added all details for the season opener - refer to the first post in this thread!

Sounds like fun!

Can't wait this is going to be great!

Save me 2 tables please and thank you

If there are still tables available, I would like to reserve one please. Thanks!

I'd like to reserve a spot on a table, seeing as to I've got a couple of tanks and accessories to get rid of.

Thanks,

Erin

I would need 1 table in total as well for shrimp, creyfish, nano tanks, soils, plants, show guppies, and who knows what else.

To everyone posting here for table reservations, it is duly noted. We have plenty of space at Tom Brown's.
Thank you for letting us know in advance so we can set-up accordingly.

Looking forward to seeing you there!

THANK YOU TO EVERYONE FOR PARTICIPATING!

It was a great time:
- there was a good selection of plants, livestock and accessories to be had at great prices
- many items were auctioned off - really good deals!
- people took in the three presentations
- several door prizes were awarded
- many took advantage of the event to renew their membership. At last count, we have over 90 paid members!

My daughter picked up some great tetras and guppies - they are looking good in our tanks!

What did you pick up? Did you have fun? Let us know!
I'll post some pics later in the week...

I had a short but good time. Sold all my tibee's and picked up some awesome plants for my 20g long tank!

Sounds like a good event! :)

We had to take a miss, due to a death in the family.
Would have liked to get in on purchasing some of
those interesting plecos and hearing the talks.
Oh well next time for sure.
