All I can say is *WOW*!

This was the first CRASE I have attended and I am blown away. I have never seen so many frags in one place before. Brought home 16 of the prettiest (including the one I won in the raffle) for myself, and a great little file fish. Spent a very enjoyable day and can't wait to do it again next year.

Many thanks to all of the vendors, and to everyone who had a hand in putting this together. I know something like this takes diligent planning and lots of time. You guys did a fantastic job! :beer:

Finally made it back to Northwest Arkansas! Our first CRASE also. Thanks goes out to the COMAS for an awesome event, the vendors for the sweet deals, and the great lineup of speakers. We were able to find some really nice pieces that we have been searching for, learned a lot from the presentations, and had a great time in Oklahoma City. We met some really nice people from all over the central US. See you again next year!

Hi All,

I wanted to thank all of you that came to the show yesterday. I hope you enjoyed the day and what the CRASE had to offer.
It was great meeting a lot of old friends, and some new to CRASE and COMAS. It was also nice to see attendees from Texas, Arkansas and Kansas as well.

From a purely personal viewpoint, I thought the CRASE this year was one of the best. The speakers were excellent, very knowledgable about their subjects and open to discussion with the attendees. The displays by the vendors was mind blowing. The selection was just incredible- some stunning corals for sure.

Finally, I want to thank Stephanie Kohl, COMAS VP, for all she has done to ensure CRASE 2010 went well. Without a doubt Stephanie has done more than any on this years CRASE and the smooth running and success of the show is entirely a testament to her hard work.

Thanks Steph.

So.....now time to think about the October Meeting and CRASE V.
Paul.

I had a blast. Got to see some people I havent seen or talked to in awhile.

Those baby tangs in one of your frag tanks were adorable Paul.

Thank you, Paul and thank you to everyone who helped us set up on Friday night. We would have been in a real pinch if we didn't have a few volunteers.

I'm interested in your feedback, vendors and attendees alike. Let me know what you liked and what could be improved. I can't promise that I'll be able to change the things you didn't like, but I'll definitely consider all my options.

If you were unable to attend this year, please let me know why. Did the date conflict with work? Did you have tickets to a ball game? Has the economy just emptied your wallet and you didn't want to be tempted?

Please take a minute and PM me to let me know.

Thanks,
Stephanie

I expected a memorable event because of the CRASE history, and i wasn't disappointed. The speakers were outstanding. Vendors and hobbyists offered great deals. Although i wasn't able to pickup any frags, i did get some coral books and Marco rock. Thank you Stephanie, Paul, and all those who worked hard to put on an outstanding show.

After seeing what CRASE has been for the last 4 years, i think i'll go to Des Moines next year for MACNA.

Thank you everyone who put this together! I had a blast, and I am really stoked to come to some Comas meetings now. Just hope you all can help me keep these new frags alive, lol!

I did not get to go because I work at the OU home games for about 12 hours. Takes up the whole day. Had it been an away game, or if the CRASE would have been on sunday, I would have been there for sure.
