Ooohhh I like that idea. Gets rid of the clipboards....
I'll look into that a little more. Still not sure what I'll have for prizes, but there could be some neat stuff if things come together the way I hope. You guys know me, I'm charming, right? 8) ;D

In an auction, 1 person pays $50 for a frag...
In a raffle, 100 people pay $1 for a ticket.

PLEASED TO ANNOUNCE:
A rep from reefbrite should be at the swap, answering questions people might have, they likely will have examples of what they make... They won't be selling but their distributors are likely represented there. ;D

Welcome aboard Bela Nagy from Beal. I think a number of you know who that is. I think his table may end up being one of the more interesting ones unless I miss my guess completely

I just want to say thanks for the support guys. It's almost sold out, and I hope my guesstimates on size were close to being right, or we'll be packed in like sardines. I'll try and keep the excitement level high for everyone by working on items for the raffles, which already promise to be 'pretty damn cool'. There's a TON of really good, friendly people coming, and I think this is going to be good for absolutely everyone involved. I hope to 'up' the awareness of the hobby in town, and hopefully get out some (a lot?) of people that have no idea this is even a thing to do! I see a lot more women getting into the hobby, which is fantastic, it feels (slightly) less nerdy that way. Thing is, they'll end up out-performing us on coral quality and production and we'll all be resentful
If it turns out half as good as I think it will, we'll do it again next year, even if I have to move it to a bigger venue. This is a great way to test the waters, and I'm glad my cold feet went away early, and again I thank you for the support, I REALLY don't like messing with the law if I can avoid it, and hey, a threat of a $25K fine was tough to ignore.
Thank you also for the offers of help at the event from those of you that did. I will likely take you up on it if I can keep track.
If you guys think of ways to get this out to the public, let me know. I haven't read the free press in about 5 years but I assume they have an 'events' section still, I may take an ad out the week before, and the weekend of. I'll hit kijiji and hopefully all the places that have access to the public that are coming will post about it. The more people we have come, the more likely everyone will sell all the stuff they bring, which is my hope for everyone. Even Jerry.
If you have thoughts, ideas, questions or concerns, just let me know. It's sort of a waiting game now, but the time will go fast, it always does as we get older.

Did Burc....fragalot not show any interest? I would think he would be all over this event?

Didn't hear from him, a couple of guys mentioned they were going to drop the info on him. If you have a direct line there's one table left

I've already volunteered my services for the day, so as we now will have a raffle table how will the ticket sales be handled? I will have no frags to sell, I could sit at the raffle table and sell tickets if that was the plan for ticket sales, that's how they've normally handled it at the Golden Retriever Specialties I've attended. They've usually had a can with a lid in front of each item (identified for each item) for people to drop their tickets into. Could we come up with a team to handle ticket sales in shifts? Thinking out loud !

I agree. I thought Burc would be all over this one. I wonder if the AP ties might be a conflict of interest.. I wouldn't imagine it would be, but, you never know... It sure is a great way to get you known and sell a ton of stuff in one sitting.
