Wow, where`s all the excitement people?

I am actually really excited about it. I just don't know that much about corals lol. When is it exactly? I just started setting up a 20g nano. Hopefully my tank is cycled and ready for corals by then.

 

Nov 15th, cya there

 

Yeaaaaaaaa Hawwwwwww!!! This is gonna be awesome. Did you check out the Slash conference, that is the St Louis area conference? I would like to go but ours is gonna be so much better!!

 

Well Joel, I'm pretty excited about the upcoming event, and I think it's awesome that our committee has gotten such great speakers and raffle items!!   I would like to commend the people that have worked so hard to get this off the ground in such a positive way.
Is there any information yet on what a "spot" will run and any of those details for members that are going to be selling?  I didn't think I would have anything to sell but as I move things from one tank to another I'm finding that I'm going to have quite a few frags and would like to get a selling spot.

 

I hadn't looked at the site devoted to the Frag fest yet and I have to say it's very nice and very professional!!  Kudo's to whomever (plural I'm sure) put that one together.
I noticed that the prices were much different on the preregisiter page than those that are listed on the first page.  I like the pre-registration prices better!  I also have to say that although I know this must have cost quite a bit to put together (venue, speakers, etc.) I'm afraid that the admittance fee will put some people off.  Are there going to be free goodies for those attending? 

 

There may be hand outs from vendors, but that will be up to them.

Registering early & being a member brings it down to $15, very reasonable for the type of event this will be.

 

I was curious if preregistering was also for attendees also just not for sellers. I think $15 for members is great considering I think it was 15 for non members last year and this is going to be an awesome time compared to last years at the rusty nail. Not to take anything away from last year but this has way more support.

 

I am very anxious to get the opportunity to listen to the list of speakers and personally feel that I will more than get my monies worth.  And I will certainly take advantage of the early sign up!
This event is going to be pretty awesome and  the best one yet!!

 

Don't forget to check out the fragging demos and all the vendors and hobbyists who will have corals for sale! I'm sure you'll find lots of nice stuff there. Plus all the raffle prizes! /DesktopModules/NTForums/themes/_default/emoticons/smile.gif

 

I think this event will be pretty awesome. I hope my new tank is done by then and ready for some new goodies. If the new tank isn't ready I'll still learn so much more from the speakers to make it more than worth it. $40 is not bad for selling hopefully will attract a ton of sellers. Any Idea yet if any major sellers are coming outside of hobbyists?

 

One thing that I would like to say is this.  Although we have a great BOD and other committee members that have been working their tails off to get the lineup of speakers, the nice venue and an impressive list of items for the raffle we need to remember that this is OUR club and we ALL need to work to make this a success.  Each one of us needs to do something to make this a success 
First of all attend!  When are you going to get the chance to see Anthony Calfo speak or some of the other really wonderful speakers??  It won't be easy for some that live a distance away, but it really will be worthwhile and the club needs the support of it's member and it's FOR the members that this is being held.  Secondly, figure out a way that you can make a difference, whether it's talking to other reefers and letting them know about the Fall Fest, setting up a booth, approaching a store or vendor that you know or frequent for raffle items, putting up posters (when they are available) , buying raffle tickets at the event, lots of things. None of the successful frag swaps got that way by accident.   This club gives ME a lot and I want to try and repay that in some small way.  I hope you all do too.  

 

Wow nicely said Robyn!
