Discovery World/WRS/MARS/FVRS Coral Frag swap

[Ontosrob]

Discovery World/WRS/MARS/FVRS Coral Frag swap. Saturday, Sept. 19th , 9am - 5pm. cst.

Discovery World is partnering with WRS, MARS and FVRS to put together what very well may become south eastern Wisconsin's largest frag swap. We have room and electricity for upwards of 65 Traders and Vendors. In addition to the coral vendors the clubs are working on providing a full day of guest speakers, demonstrations, used dry goods sale room, and other related activities. Traders/Vendors and manufactures will be offered the chance to make a tax deductible donation to the coral/livestock/dry goods auction and or Raffle. Proceeds will go to Discovery World's Atlantic Coral Project. Just to entice you further, we have already had a few donations to the auction. Alternative Reef has promised a few goodies and there will be a handful of ORA corals as well. I will update everybody with planned attendance numbers and vendor participation as well as the list of confirmed activities on a frequent basis.

Other little housekeeping items...

Remember the cut off for vendor/trader registration is September 4th. I know some people have work schedules that are not known by then. If that is the case, please contact haydenp@discoveryworld.org and let him know. they have a few tables set aside for that reason.

the T-shirt design is almost finished, it looks pretty neat as it was done by a well published children's book illustrator. I will be posting a pic as soon as we get the final approved version.

Remember pre registering as an attendee is to your benefit, its $8 if you do, walk ups for the day of the event are welcome, but at our regular admission rates ($16.95). If your are a Discovery World member, you always get free admission and there is no additional cost for the swap.

There will be Friday night trader/vendor setup from 4-8pm. If at all possible I'd suggest as close to 4pm as possible, since there is a fish fry and free outdoor movie happening in the area surrounding our building. I will email vendors more specific details closer to the event.

Vendor/trader locations. they will not have pre assigned spaces, because of the building size and shape, they will have only 1 row but its about 200' long. When you show up for setup we will show you the general area and you can pick your spot, and there is plenty of space so we can spread out and don't have to be on top of each other. Take a min. to watch CustomColor's you tube video.its the above video in very first post on this thread.. In the first section he pans around the Promenade area where the swap will be held.
