    Thanks to everyone who helped make this event possible and to all the vendors/sellers who help support the club. I had a great time talking with everyone and meeting a few new people. Coming home with a bunch of nice frags for the new tank is always nice!! I know there were a lot of last minute changes & extra work that took place to make it happen, but it seemed like a success to me.

    Agreed. It was a good show. I was only there for about an hour but it was good seeing and talking to a number of you whether for the first time or not.

    Job VERY WELL DONE Jeanette, Nik and Chris! You all did an awesome job on such a short notice for the change in venue! Buyers seemed VERY PLEASED with their purchases which makes that a success right there! :=0)


    Considering the situation which the BOD was faced with for this SpringFest, I am very proud of the BOD's response! Way to go everyon





    That is very nice of you to say Sponge.

    Thanks to everyone that made this possible. Great event, great speakers, great vendors. Everyone I talked to seemed to be having a good time.
    I didn't buy much for corals this time around, but the raffle treated me pretty good this year.

    Yes, big thanks to all that make this happen despite any bumps along the way. I had a great time, and even my non-fishy husband commented that it was well done when we were walking around. I picked up a lot of great corals! The raffle was definitely a plus too, I left feeling like one lucky duck! /DesktopModules/ActiveForums/themes/_default//emoticons/smile.gif

    HUGE Thanks to DSM members! Pete, Dan, Jeanette, Nik, Brock, all of you guys working the registration table up front! I had a lot of corals saved up from working (not selling) at Fall Fest! Registration went real smoothly and everybody rushed the floor once we opened! Great show, and from what I've heard good turnout. The vendors were pleased too! Great job guys!

    Oh I LOVE the Ipad!!! I've decided I'll even use it for music instead of my trusty old 1st generation 80gig ipod. I think they may even weigh about the same! lol I'm still shocked I won. It was my first frag fest, and wow, so much fun!

    Thanks to everyone that came and helped make this a successful event!!!! The speakers were great - standing room only I heard. Lots of good looking corals, clowns, and dry goods.


    And special thanks to everyone on the team that helped to make this a success - from preparations to those members that helped set-up and worked the day of the show. We couldn't have done it without all your help. Hopefully I won't miss anyone:


    Nick Ball, Pete Hondred, Chris Civitate, Matt Nelsen, Andy Long, David Robinson, Elliott Kelley, Dan Albers, Brock Rustin, Casey Schors, Troy Cruchelow, and Dave Roth.

    I'd like to apologize to the club members who helped in setup as I was unable to keep my word for helping ... "Sorry guys and Jeanette!" I think all of you understood the problem that prevented me from helping... I hope THAT never happens again!
