Hey all, some more updates for you.
Again this year NWIMAC purchased notepads. These will go to the first 250 paid entries and Nwimac members to enter the swap.

One of our hobbyists, Mike Bakker aka bigEvil1, has donated a frag of Jason Fox My Miami Chalice to the raffle. It currently has 8 eyes with another month to grow. Picture is an example of My Miami and not actual frag.
Valued at $300

We've also receive an amazing donation for the raffle from Kessil.

We've also received a donation from Omegasea LLC.

We are also placing an order for club shirts. If you'd like to preorder your shirt and have it waiting for you at the swap place let me know.

Who all went to this?

I decided to put alot more focus into my tank now that it is the healthiest it has ever been. I went and checked this out. We got there at 12:15, which was a great time because the pickings were still fresh. Wife and I walked out with tons of stuff including a new sand sifting star, two bubble tip nems, 5 zoa frags including RPE, Blue Hornets, and a few others I might need an ID on soon. Also a Ricordia shroom. Tons of goodies and samples too. It was a great time and I loved seeing so many adults and kids genuinely interested in the hobby.

The best part was I got to meet Ryan again and I also got to meet Ira for the first time. I had a blast and will definitely go again next year.

I went with my best friend. He bought up the place but I held back, due to problems with my new tank buildings (I'm going to do a build thread later.) I did get a Duncan and a Zoa frag, both very nice. It was a really fun event.

I missed the duncans! One of the issues with going at the beginning of the event, is alot of stuff was closed up still.

Glad you made it out.
It was a successful event. We had a larger crowd from last year and will continue to build it up and make it a good one for years to come.
