Don't know if anyone has attended in the past or is interested in attending this year; but, here is a link.

Just checked it out. I was thinking about attending, But having two boys under 4 this is a little to far in advance for a deffinite. I guess step 1 will be to start looking for a babysitter.

We (george) is looking at putting together a PMASI sponsored trip for this swap.

Just a reminder: There is a Awesome LFS about 10-15 min from the frag swap I was there about 3 years ago and let me say this place was the biggest LFS I think i have seen they had a ton of stuff. I believe it was called Aquatic Tech. They also have a website if you search them, but I believe it was always out of date.

If it is aquatic tech we took about 10-15 people there and the opinion was not good...

The group just went to Cleveland i think in September and I believe that is where tidal gardens is which was neat but not willing to sell anyone anything

That is amazing all the LFS that I use to frequent 3-4 yrs ago everyone says now they're a bummer....

Most lfs are feeling the hit of the economy. Another big portion of it is online buying.

Too many people are willing to buy online to save 4 dollars and the lfs is suffering. I personally try to support local stores buy paying a little more and supporting local small business. I personally feel paying the extra 10-20% {which they usually discount being a club member} is worth it to be able to see the product and support someone local. When's the last time an online supplier offered you a mag pump to borrow till the one you ordered came in???

Back to the original post.... I would be in for a road trip with the club. Will watch the pmasi site for updates.
