    We are getting some vendors that will be setting up Frag tanks. Just want to invite anyone that wants to come.


    We are a friendly bunch. Lots of salty people in our group. We even have a live auction if you are into that.


    Tables are available for only $10.

    Sorry it won't post my Flyer pic.

    You can sell all day. You don't have to put stuff into the auction.

    Times are mostly for starts. Not finishes.

    We have two events a year.

    Last weekend in March, last weekend in October.

    See you at the next one Sponge. You could come just to have fun and maybe buy? Sellers need buyers. We give away stuff to.

    Hope to see you there.

    No problem it Def looks great in your tank /DesktopModules/ActiveForums/themes/_default//emoticons/smile.gif it was also nice meeting you.

    Salute was a definite success definitely one of the better shows that I have been to in a long time got some pretty great stuff from operation tidal wave, and the other salt vendors. Next year I strongly encourage more people to come if I was to guess I say 300 people were there tons of frags and lots of good people. Definitely a good example of what an event should be like. Thanks again Chris for putting it together

    Thanks for the kind words Donny.

    I had a good time. Glad to see some salty people show up. Great way to show the fresh side of the hobby what the salty side of life looks like.
    Thanks for coming.
