Robyn,

Got to say love the graphic for the frag swap, as a brewer and reefer, I want a T-shirt!

Well, guess what! We will be selling Tshirts there also!!

I think there is a few of us planning on attending. Cyber I can get a shirt for you.

I have posted the information on BNARC about GIRS Fall Fest also. Feel free to drop into BNARC and post any additions to the event or post pictures if you are going to have corals to sell! It's all good!

Sounds like a lot of fun! anyone here in Des Moines area up for a road trip?

I don't know how it's going to work yet. But there's a few from CR area wanting to go. We are trying to arrange a meeting place in the QC then take a van load or two to Fragtober Fest from the QC.

Here is a link to the Holiday Inn where Fragtoberfest is being held. The Holiday Inn is offering a discount for people associated with our event, just mention BNARC!!

Also - just up the road from the event is a 1200-gallon public mixed reef. It is at Culver's on hershey road, just off rt 9 almost spitting distance from the event. It is a spectacular display, so if you are coming be sure to check it out!

That Culver's is a must see. I looked throw the build thread for it, and wish he would show me the behind the scenes of it.

Should be a great show!!!  Lots of stuff added everyday!!!  Maybe Bret will do a tour of the Culvers tank!!!
