    For the t-shirts, will there be a pre-order?

    Also, I remember there was going to be a sale with Gonzo's beforehand and he'd bring corals to the show, any word on this @xroads@xroads?

    Ah, shoot. Good catch, thank you for pointing that out, and sorry for the disappointment Shane. We decided a few months back to not do shirts as there wasn't enough interest to put together an order that was cost-effective.

    If you guys ever need good pricing on shirts let me know. My fiance screen prints and I have no doubt that I can get us a deal on them.

    Good to know!! I think it's a given that we'll do t-shirts for Fall Fest since that's right around the 15th anniversary of GIRS - we'll want a cool shirt I think for that one
     
  11. Anymore info on this?

    This is one of those items that I haven't had much time to spend on, but we will have 2 tables (possibly more) for community dry goods and a community frag tank - same as we did for Fall Fest.

    The space that we have allocated for this is in the corner of the venue and there is enough room for as many tables as we need.

    I will supply the 40 breeder tank which will be filled about 1/3 full of freshwater, a heater, and a fluorescent light fixture which was donated to the club at Fall Fest. Frags will need to be bagged and marked with price and seller.

    Dry good will need to be tagged with price and seller also.

    Then there will be a simple sign-in sheet if you have anything for sale so that you don't have to stay at the table during the show.

    Casey Schares said that he will help monitor the community table but we should really add this to the list of tables where we need a volunteer, just one to collect money and earmark it for the seller.

    Anything that doesn't sell, you must take with you when you leave.

    I'll start another thread with all of this information so that it doesn't get too mixed up with this general thread!
