Looks like I'm free for the 17th. I'll probably roll solo and leave the wife and Kiddo at home. I don't want the fish to get lonely.

Bbq/mini swap
$10 frag grab bag
There will be a PIF section. Bring a pif, get a pif.
People were complaining about prices at the swap and that there weren't enough reefers selling items so i figured lets have a mini swap. We will have tanks set up so people can bring frags from their tanks to sell.
We will also probably be making a run to a lfs. I have xzotic, advanced, aquapros, and beyond the reef within 15mins from me.
I'm planning to grill so If everyone can bring a food or drink that would be awesome. We may even have a raffle.
With this being a members event there should be a ton of awesome stock

Hey guys, I am super excited about the idea of a "mini" fragswap. We had a very successful holiday party last year (lots of credit to Eric) and I think we should make this frag swap coming up our 2nd annual CR frag swap party. We had a pretty good turn out last year, and with the growth of CR in the past year, the turn out should be even greater. I think we should go up and beyond and really make this next frag swap something special.
What I am envisioning. A frag swap with free table space/tanks to anyone who wants to sell frags from their personal collection. I am hesitant to have vendors there and have only strictly hobbyist selling/trading. This will help keep price of frags affordable. Vendors can come as hobbyist and sell from their personal collection. It will be a large but intimate frag swap.
Couple of questions
1. Would it be possible to push this frag swap into Dec?
2. Will Joes garage be large enough to accommodate a big turn out? or should we look into doing it at a LFS or rent a venue
Let me know you guys thoughts
Yeah a $10 grab bag. Try to get UN common frags! No xenia! Lol
I'm sure some powerheads will show up in the PIF group.
It's a gamble, and if we have a younger member or a noob, that may be all they have. I don't want folks thinking we are trying to be elitist or folks feeling excluded because they don't have a fancier tank or livestock.
The gamble is you may get something fancy I might bring or you may end up winning xenia. No one can be upset about getting free coral. We aren't going to the party for coral. We're going for good times, good drink, good food and to look into Joe's Blue Eyes. It's a party y'all!!
All I know is that I better not pull xenia with my ticket. Just sayin'.
