    Hey Justin - sorry no one got back to you on this Saturday. We were all in the final prep mode and missed this. I hope you and your significant other made it to the fest in spite of the no response.

    Yep he made it :)

    I'm glad to hear you guys liked the egg rolls. My buddy was very appreciative of the opportunity to cook for us and get exposure for his catering business. We already have 'plans' for next year

    They were out of sauce by the time I got around to eating but even without they were quite tasty!!!:)
    That was a great fest! Great turnout! Thought the combined show with the freshies was really neat!...A lot of cool stuff on that side of the room too!
    Was happy to see the TNT'ers made it and everyone was well!!!!!
    ...and I got stocked up on Rod's thanks to the raffle!:)

    Thanks to everyone that helped make Spring Fest a success:

    @DangerJ@DangerJ - for the planning and coordination with CEACich Aquatics
    @Reef Medic Clay@Reef Medic Clay - for help with the vendor relations and raffle donations
    All the volunteers that manned the tables. Several people spent most of the entire day helping. I could name a few, but I know that I don't have a complete list and would miss someone.
    The Vendors - alot of nice corals, fish, and invertebrates were available.
    Our sponsors and contributors to the raffle - It was a great raffle.
    The caterer - for fantastic egg rolls.
    Attendees - It wouldn't have been a success without you.
    CEACich Aquatics - Thanks for partnering with us again for a great event!

    Sorry if I missed anyone!

    We hope everyone had a great time, met new and old friends, and went home with great new treasures. We hope to see everyone again at our next fest: Oct 12th in Waterloo!!
