NCPARS/That Fish Place Winter Frag Event

[ccCapt]

This is our 2nd Annual Winter Frag Event in partnership with That Fish Place. Last years event was a great success. TFP provided some great speakers, nice raffle prizes and had some fantastic in-store sales for the event. I'm sure this years event will be just as much fun. Hope to see some of you there.

Is there going to be a meet-and-greet with the Captain?

 

[ccCapt]

:) I will be there.....with frags to sell. :D

 

[Hiker4twenty]

Thanks for posting this Capt. I should be able to make this one and it's not too far away from where I live. Is this going to be a large event? I've never been to a frag swap before.

 

[ccCapt]

Is this going to be a large event?

I believe last years event was the 2nd highest draw of customers for any sale/event TFP ever had. So yes, I think it will be pretty big. There were 6 speakers last year and some very expensive items raffled off.

Your not that far from me. I live right outside Wilkes-Barre.

 

[SeaBee]

Yea, I'm about an hour and a half from there so I could go, we can all hang out and schtuff~~~

 

[SeaBee]

Yea again, the wife said we can go, but of course she wants to shop in Lancaster for an Amish blanket, any Amish Blanket stores out there Capt?

 

[Hiker4twenty]

Hope to see you guys there.

 

[ccCapt]

any Amish Blanket stores out there Capt?

I never looked for any, but I travel Rt 72 to get down there and Manheim is an old Amish town with all kinds of shoppes. Rt 72 is Main St in Manheim (watch out for the horse and buggies). I'm sure there are Amish shoppes in Lancaster, but I don't know where any are.

 

[Reefrookie]

I'll be there for sure. Looking forward to it!

Why not? It's not THAT far. ;)

I'm not sure, but I will find out and let you know.

I will have a table reserved for the corals I'm bringing. I'll let you guys know exactly where I'll be.

Thats a great idea. God knows the place is big enough!

You just pay the $10 admission fee and that's good enough for you and your family.

Here's a little teaser as far as what you can win on the raffles...........
Marineland will be donating a 70 Gallon Cube tank, 30x30x18, with a black Monterey stand, Marineland sump, NJ4500 pump, and Marineland MSPS300 Protein Skimmer as one of the grand prizes. ($2800 suggested retail value)

[Hiker4twenty]

That's some nice stuff being offered for raffle. I can't wait to get to the frag swap. Are people attending welcome to bring some coral frags as well to trade or is it just limited to people who pay to have a stand set up?

 

[ccCapt]

Yes, you can bring frags to sell/trade. It's the same admission price ($10 for non NCPARS members, $5 for members) whether you're selling/trading or just browsing/buying.

I only take the corals I listed and have had reserved on fragswapper. You can list what you have available on fragswapper or you can just bring what you have.

 

[ccCapt]
