That Fish Place/NCPARS Frag Extravaganza

[ccCapt]

I have some preliminary info for NCPARS winter frag swap Jan 31, 2009 at That Fish Place in Lancaster, PA. TFP will be hosting the frag swap in the pond area of their fish room. They will be inviting many of their vendors to attend, and we are expecting to have a raffle to which those vendors will donate. For food, we are currently hoping that we will be linking up with the Humane Society of Lancaster County, who will be selling food to benefit their group.
I'll post more details when we get them. Hope to see you there

Mike, That place is about 3-4 hours North of me, but I would be willing to meet up. I'll know something in a few weeks.

Hmmm...I may be interested in going up with you guys for this one! Keep me posted on what you decide.

 

[Fluff]

I may actually be able to go to this one. I love TFP.

I will definitely make this trip....I plan on having gift cards for Christmas....Seeing as how that "all I want for Christmas is my TFP cards!!!" Let me know who all is going...I want to meet you all!!!!

I got my TFP Holiday Season flyers in the mail today. They have an ad in it for the swap in Jan. There will be a $10 admission for non-members of NCPARS, but from my understanding, they are giving $10 in store coupons when you pay. So basically free admission. No word yet on who the speaker will be.

 

[intimatecple]

excellent

Well count me in then! I've always wanted to take the ride out there, but the opportunity to meet all you fine people in person is not to be missed!

Larry, you're in charge of setting up a meeting time for all of us <g>.

Watching this thread too. It's too early for me to commit, but I am definately interested, especially if we get a NoVA group carpool going.

[Ziggy953]

I'm looking forward to it as well!!! I guess I need to get that AA teeshirt pressed and ready.

 

[ccCapt]

For those who are attending, check out www.fragswapper.com. There are lots of corals listed for sale and you can reserve them now. It's free to register at FragSwapper. It's also a good idea to reserve something if you see something you like. Many people only bring the corals others have reserved. Sanjay has some nice stuff listed and he only brings what ppl reserve from him.

Hope to see some of you there.

 

[intimatecple]

definitly going!!! can not wait until I meet all you guys and gals!!!! I just reserved 3 of Sonjay's corals!!!!
