Nice, my parents live on Corkscrew and three oaks pkwy. I believe i can see the hotel from my parents bedroom. Lol. I might try to "visit the parents" that weekend and kill two birds with one stone.

 

[jdhuyvetter]

We've negotiated a discounted lunch if you want to eat at the hotel. But, it must be prepaid by April 12. Also negotiated discounted hotel rooms if anyone wants to come over and stay the night. Hotel info and Lunch can be prepaid at: http://www.swfmas.com/reefconference2013

Two weeks to go! Who all is coming over?

 

[angelfish boy]

Me, and will there be any fish vendors?

 

[tmulrney]

My son and daughter both go to college at FGCU. I'm going to attend the swap and visit my kids

If you get me a table I'll go!

 

[jdhuyvetter]

Me, and will there be any fish vendors?

Not specifically. Calypso Clowns is donating a pair of designer clowns for the raffle. Gulf Coast Ecosystems and Eco Reefs both have tables. They have both brought a few fish before. So, I expect a few fish, but not a lot. I expect everything that is there (fish wise) will be tank raised.

 

[jdhuyvetter]

If you get me a table I'll go!

Constant harrassment will get you moved down on the wait list!

[jdhuyvetter]

I'm not as old as Eddie! I finally reached that point where I'm old enough to know better, but young enough to do it anyway!
