I had a great time and came home with 4 new corals! Caught up with a coupla friends that I haven't seen in awhile, all was good. Thanks to the folks that put on the show.
 
Been out of town since Sunday night, I just want to say thank you for putting on a great show as usual. It was a fun day, the kids had a blast. See you again next year!
 
Was a great time. Will be at the next one!. Did anyone happen to pick up a braven bvr-1 Bluetooth speaker during the break down. I left it there accidentally after I cleaned up. Black with blue trim and a spash of white paint. Left near table 1
