Greetings URS!

It's been awhile since we've hosted a great frag swap in Western NY, and in conjunction with Aquarium Professionals, I'm very excited to announce our first ever Queen City Frag Fest!

Details: As you can see from the flyer above, the event is going to take place in downtown Buffalo on Sunday, April 26th from 12-5pm at the historic Asbury Hall aka "Babeville" run by URS Member "EastAmherstBias". This is an absolutely amazing venue which started its life as an old church and is now a state-of-the-art entertainment venue. Plenty of tables for hobbyists and vendors along with much more! Below are a couple photos which show the event location:

Admission/Vendors: General admission to the swap is FREE for everyone! For vendors, we are offering two different options for selling livestock: non-commercial hobbyists can purchase a spot for $25 which allows you 4' table space, 500 watts of power and up to a 40 gallon tank for livestock. Additionally, commercial vendors are able to purchase a 8x4' space for $50 (8' table provided) along with 1,000 watts of power and up to 80 gallons of aquarium(s). For either option, vendors will be allowed access to setup on the day of the event at 10:00am (earlier setup is not available, sorry!). If you are interested in reserving space, please send an e-mail to queencityfragfest@gmail.com and we will arrange your space.

Swappers: We've registered our event on both FragSwapper.com as well as the new ReefTrader.com site so you can converse with other hobbyists/vendors and get some really awesome pre-sale deals!

Raffle Prizes: There will be a large and might we add very exciting chinese-auction style raffle for items such as all-in-one and reef-ready aquariums, LED lighting, salt and much, much more... stay tuned to this page as we will periodically post updates of what items will be raffled!

We are extremely excited about this event and looking forward to seeing everyone there- be sure to register for the event on the sites listed above and post here to let us know you can attend! :D
 
Just a quick update that we're in the process of securing some really nice raffle prizes...

Hint: If you could pick any LED light to put over your reef tank, which one would it be? More info on the raffle coming soon...

If you haven't already, please be sure to register on FragSwapper.com to let us know you're coming! :)
 
Time to search throught the couch cushions, load up the car with styros and head to Buffalo! Just went to the LEAR swap here in Ohio last month and they used ReefTrader instead of Fragswapper. ReefTrader blew away Fragswapper with it's additional features, like a mobile page so I could view listings frustration free on my phone. It's worth checking out if you're listing something for the swap.
 
Update! As previously mentioned, we've got some very exciting raffle prizes for the Queen City Frag Fest! The first raffle prize we're excited to announce is an EcoTech Marine Radion XR30wG3 LED fixture! :bounce1:
