    Nebraska Aquatics Supply is having there annual birthday party. The Des Moines Region has always made a presence here and we will have a raffle for those members who can attend. NAS always has a good sale on all coral and livestock, along with a lineup of great speakers, plus their own raffle. This is on Saturday September 26th from 10am to 7pm.

    Current speakers are Lemon "Tyk" all the way from Singapore, Mr. Saltwater Tank - Mark Callahan (who you will see again in November at our Fall Fest), Planted Aquarium Guru Luis Navarro, Fish food extraordinaire Larry Dupont and planted aquarium expert Robert Lowery.

    Dave and Fence13 have offered up 2 seats each for people interested in hitching a ride. Let one of them know if you're interested.

    There will be 3 prizes that the DSM Region will be raffling off all GIRS members who can attend.

    They're all out for me. 9/13 parents in town (but MAY be able to make it)
    9/19 out of town, most likely (95%)
    9/26 is Nebraska Aquatic Supply's annual shindig. Probably a bad weekend to do it.

    I didn't see they had announced that yet. Good call Bud & Sponge. Nebraska Aquatics Supply has always been good to us. In keeping with the several past years we'll have a raffle of some salt and giftcards for the members who can attend.

    Yea everyone should come to Nebraska Aquatic Supply's anniversary party. I think it's close enough that I'll be able to make it!

    Jim just announced on Facebook they will be raffling off Mark Callahan's 450 gallon tank. I don't think you can buy a ticket, in the years past it was one ticket for entering and another ticket for every $50 you spend.

    So I called Mark Callahan (Mr. Saltwater... - Nebraska Aquatic Supply | Facebook

    Added Dave and removed Bud (since he'll be busy with family things which are supposedly way more important than beer and talking about fish)

    I would love to catch a ride there with someone. My daughter is driving down from Sioux City to attend and then will give me a ride back to Urbandale.
