Inquiring minds want to know..

Scalare102079 · 02/20/2009, 06:58 PM

cuz we all like to see failures.

okay, i honestly don't know.

Fireworm · 02/20/2009, 09:40 PM

When are we going to see a thread about what local hobbist will have for sale or trade at the swap?

Scalare102079 · 02/20/2009, 09:48 PM

SOON!

Fireworm · 02/20/2009, 09:55 PM

That is not soon enough. LOL

How many tables do you expect to sell, and how many people do you average in attendance?

Scalare102079 · 02/20/2009, 09:59 PM

We don't sell tables yet, we just let people show up and set up. The money we earn is from entrance fees and raffle tickets. If my memory serves correct, we had over 200 people last year. But, I have slept since then. we currently have over 3000 bucks worth of donated items for the raffle. We get a really good turnout usually, new venue this year, so we are all excited. Next year we are hoping to couple everything with a couple of speakers and start getting closer to an actual conference type setting.

Hooked4life · 02/20/2009, 10:00 PM

We don't sell tables--any hobbyist can buy, sell and trade. We are still soliciting livestock vendors.

More details will follow as we get things finalized.

Scalare102079 · 02/20/2009, 10:26 PM

BOOM! Katrina ROCKS!

Fireworm · 02/20/2009, 10:49 PM

That is awesome. I can't wait. That is the weekend after my birthday, so i already told the wife to get a sitter and we would go to the swap and then to the Ram for dinner.

Scalare102079 · 02/20/2009, 10:52 PM

The RAM, good choice!

Fireworm · 02/20/2009, 11:45 PM

I stopped there this fall after getting some coral from Ian. Great coral, great food, and great beer. Perfect day at the reef

Scalare102079 · 02/21/2009, 08:23 AM

Ian will be at the swap again, he is all loaded up and ready to go.

Thanks,
