2016 frag swaps and shows

[Heatherabel3]

Does anyone know if the Bob Moore Frag Swap is the only one that happens in WA each year? We just went this past weekend, it was the first one I have been to and am addicted. The quality and diversity of coral that was available was amazing. I don't even want to go to LFS anymore, it just doesn't compare. LOL

LOL.

I am the same way.

I am Addicted and Stopped Going to the LFS the Day I went to my First Frag Swap.

Now I am the "Frag Swap Crusader" and do everything to Promote Frag Swaps.

There are so many Corals at Frag Swaps that you don't see at your LFS.

I wish Everybody Knew About them.

That is My Goal to Spread the Word about Frag Swaps.

I wish Everybody Knew About them.

That is My Goal to Spread the Word about Frag Swaps.

I could not agree more. I am always frustrated when I meet people who keep reefs and live in the same town as the CT Frag Farmer's but didn't even know the event exists...

 

[AquaMama13]

We are very excited to annouce our First Annual Fragtoberfest!! The BOD has been hard at work planning a new event for this October. In lieu of CMAC this year, CTARS will be hosting a large frag swap/ sale which vendors and hobbyists alike can come together, buy and sell corals, talk reef and learn from one another, and take part in an awesome raffle. We have already begun getting donations for the raffle and we will post teaser updates as the months go by. We already have an amazing grand prize that we will announce in the near future! smile emoticon The event will take place on October 15, 2016 at the Rodeway Inn in East Windsor CT. We have reserved a block of rooms for those who would like to stay over night on Friday at a reasonable rate of $65! Set up will be available Friday night for vendors. Mark your calendars, this is going to be awesome!!
