ENTRY FEES:
- Vendors - $125 (8 foot table), plus a $25 club donation item.
- Early Bird Setup 4' space - $25 (members) $35 (non members) (NOTE: see website to reserve the space)
- General entry - $5 (non members), FREE to CORA members and immediate family members.
There will be 1/3 table space available on a 1st come/1st serve basis once doors open for those wishing to sell/trade but not pay for a reserved space. No electric available for these spaces, and NO SETUPS/TANKS. You will be required to have corals in small containers or bags to utilize these spots. You will be limited to 1/3 of a table only. If you need more space, you will need to purchase 'early bird' table space.
Note: Swappers/vendors, per 4 foot space, you will be limited to 250 watts of light, a pump/filter and 1 heater(may have a second heater for vendors and early bird setup, just to warm the water initially but it must be removed before the event start time)-NO EXCEPTIONS-if you exceed the lighting limit you will be asked to turn the light off and you will forfeit any registration fee).? Early Bird swapper setups will also be limited to 15 gallons of water volume. Water volume will be checked using the L x W x H of your setup, and limit WILL BE ENFORCED. We had a few pretty unsafe setups last year that require us to monitor water volume more closely this year. TO ALL SWAPPERS: Do not put items out in the isles in front of your tables. The isles were made wider last year to allow for more comfortable foot travel for those browsing the selection of live and hard goods. Putting used tanks, etc. In the isles, in front of your table space, is a safety issue, as well as a hindrance to foot traffic.
We have had over 450 attendees last year and hope that you will help us match or exceed that number again this year.
