Road Trip to Connecticut

[Steven Pro]

If anyone is interested, there is a show in Connecticut. I went last year and will likely be going again. If was a very nice one-day event; good speakers, plenty of exhibitors, fabulous venue, and a lot of nice shops in the area. Here is some information I got on it:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Once again, CTARS will be holding a Conference - the date is Sunday April 25, 2010. Again, it is at The Mohegan Sun Casino. Tickets are available on-line for $15 through December 31, 2009 and parking is FREE. As an added feature this year, you can buy your raffle tickets online as well.

We have a couple of new speakers scheduled to appear - Chris Clough and Vince Rado. Chris is an LED lighting expert and Vince is a Marine Biologist with 40 years of propagating history. Also speaking will be Sanjay Joshi.

We had a full room of vendors. Scheduled to be here are Marco Rocks, Cherry Corals, Reef Koi Corals, Seachem and Wet Thumb Frags just to name a few.

We encourage you to get your tickets early before the price goes up. They make great XMAS stocking stuffers (in case your significant other is wondering what to get you).

This is the largest gathering of reef keepers in the Northeast. We hope to see you here.

I wanted to give you an update as to some of the raffle prizes. We will be having a fantastic raffle and coral auction shortly after the last speaker.

We will be raffling off one of these 24" 2xModule LED Light System w/ Controller at the April 25 Conference:

.
2' AquaIllumination Fixutre.


Another light that we will raffle off is this one donated from Hamilton Technologies:

Cayman Sun - 150 Watt HQI Reflector with LED lights.

Not in the market for a light? How about this pump donated from Echotech Marine:

Vorech MP10 pump or any of the other dozens of raffle prizes.
