    Wow you guys, we really pulled it out this time! I can't believe all the work that must have gone into this right after MACNA! I didn't contribute to making it happen, but I do have this for everybody; photos, hope you guys enjoy.
    Also, gotta say, awesome venue, I guess there were some reception problems with phones in this place, but other than that, very nicely laid out, speakers separated from the noise and bustle of the show room floor, great choice!
    Special thanks to my #1 reef buddy Elliot (erayk1) for taking pix when I had to leave for work. You totally rock dude!
    We had ALOT of happy winners!

    And then all the usual suspects pros and hobbyists were there with supplies, corals, and parts from their aquarium "bone yards" and such;

    Thanks for the photos! It helps give an idea of what goes on for the family who can't attend.

    Funny Jeremy! 
    I think total attendees was between 120 - 130.  Considering how close to MACNA it was, the soft economy, and the fact that it was a beautiful day, I'd say that's a pretty decent turnout.
