You can always call in sick, heh, too obvious?

Maybe you can hand out FF3 flyers at work :), then you'd not have to worry about work any more.

Hope chris can make it, as well you daughter. Wed never get get out of the bouncy room.

Well send you lunch though. Snicker.. Snicker..

Ken

Lol, yeah, too obvious especially since I know a bellow staff member will be there, :lol:.
I need Chris to go and snatch goodies for me but honestly I'm not sure he knows what to look for. He'd bring home stuff I have or don't really want :lol:

Make a list and we will help him follow it :mrgreen:

Heh, you'll be missed Dawn. :(

Well, after being sleep deprived for the last few days, I managed to get top the store after 3 hours sleep in 72.

Started to mark down prices for the rest of this week, and these prices will be discounted additionaly on FragFest day.

Raincheques will be offered on dry items that we ran out of, or didn't arrive in time for the Frag Fest. Please see me for them.

Ken

Thanks Ken, I'm gonna miss seeing everyone!

:surprise: 3 hours in 72, that's not good, go home and get some sleep!

There might be a fight for some of the ones I want. Doug and Chris will be at war over the candy apples :lol:

And while they duke it out I will slip in and snag the candy :twisted:

just convinced my wife ! stoked to say that i will be there !!

You'll be the 3rd G.Prairie reefer to confirm attendance.

I am happy to announce that Dave at Concept Aquatics (Calgary) has graciously donated a mp10 for our door prizes.

In the next few days we will be listing what we can offer from Aqua Digital.


Thank you for everyone that has donated, doating, and volunteering for this event.


Hmmm, maybe a FragFes ver3.5 in the winter? :question:

Lots to do, not enough time to do it. someone turn the clock backwards

Ken

Sounds like things are coming together nicely Ken, don't get to panicked everything will be great & the weather sounds like it's going to be awesome.

Weather looks good - Sunday September 11, High of 24 Low of 13 Sunny

My only concern is if we got it out the hobbiest

We decided on September this years, so some of the families can attend, and most everyone will be done holidays by now.

Just lots of work, my phone and emails have been going nuts the last 2 weeks.

Still working on freebies for door prizes.

Haven't even don the grocery shopping yet, thank god Superstore is only 2 blocks away.

Omg this sounds awesome
Never been to one before!!!!
Had to do some dealing with my hubby but I'm coming in to town for it
Are there like any rules or silly things we need to know. Just cause I'm coming in from out of town, wanna be prepared... Like should I bring a tent or sleeping bag to get in on the goodies?

Rule #1 and the most important one, bring lots of money :lol: and #2 be there early because it gets crazy busy. Good to see another reefer so close :biggrin:

:lol:

Sweet!!
Yeah, seriously nice to see someone else out here, though I still don't know why edmontionans think it's far out here!!

LOL, Bon Accord & Gibbons isn't that far out. I actually was out there earlier today.

Don't be pressured to bring losta $$$, we started this to bring the people together.

I remember when I introduced some of the CanReefers for the first time in 2009.

Ken

Cool, were you working? I was behind one of your trucks today on my way in to the city, I wonder if it was you?

True, you don't need to bring lots of money but there's so many goodies :grab::mrgreen:
Frag Fest is such a blast that you'll think yearly is too long to wait:lol: You'll meet so many reefers/canreefers. I met quite a few canreefers through the first 2 frag fests.

Well I know for sure I will be there but not sure if or which Husky will be coming for a ride if we bring the car. Any requeston which one?

Howsabout ALL of them??:twised:
They can then distract most of them crazy reefers while I sneak to the back...

Ive always been more of a lover than a fighter........Right Laurie????



























*hears crickets*

Ummmmm......yaaaaaaa........ummmmmm don't think the wife would be to happy with me if I left her with 4 huskies & went frag shopping, so I don't think that will work :lol:

I was in your area about 2:00 in the afternoon. I was tempted to give you a call, as I am s dying to see your tanks. Dunno if you would have had space for me to park my truck.

You are definitely going to be missed this year, you are part if the original 3 I met ( you, Laurie & Wayne) at the first meet

Yep but that's ok because I'm sneaky sneaky and I'll get in there and swipe them for ya :mrgreen: I can also be pretty pushy, so I'm sure I'll get you some candy apples :twised:

Bring it on guys :boxing: :lol: (don't worry Dawn if there's more then one frag I'll snag one for you)

I Left about 2-2:30ish so maybe it was you. My tank is an embarrassment right now, I would be ashamed to show it off :neutral: but there's room to park a big truck around my place :smile:

Trust me, I am going to miss being there :sad: next year I am taking the day off(should have done that this year)!!

That a girl Laurie, get in there and snag the goodies for Doug and me:fish::lol:

My thanks to Steve at Red Coral Edmonton, he as offered a Hanna Calcium Checker for our door prizes.

Dawn, I was at AI earier today, tried to get one of the boys to cover half of your shift at least. No luck. John said he will bring some food back to you. ::biggrin:

Gotta love it when a plan comes together... Or at least almost does. :)

All my orders are accounted for except for my fish order and 1 frag order.

By the end of day and tomorrow morning everything should be good.

There is tank space avaliable if someone needs a place to keep livestock during the frag Fest if needed.

Lenny, I'll be by to grab the tables and such early afternoon Friday.

Time to start taking a deep breath.

Its looking good people!!
 

:biggrin: Wow,Ken has us busy at the store...Its all comming together and everytime I turn around something else is showing up.Not to mention the unloading of the H2O salt that came in today.
I'm looking forward to seeing all of you on Sunday Sept 11th,and bringing our community once again together...
Have fun everyone and see you on Sunday,lets make this another success..:lol:
-Shannon-

going to be good times!!! can't wait!

So its official!

Ive just took a rough count of all the frags in the store and we are up
to 385 Frags for the frag fest! I can tell this is going to be a good year!

We are also expecting a fish and inverts shipment
tomorrow (Friday sept. 9th/2011) that ken said is going to
be one of the biggest shipments of the year! :mrgreen:

There are alot of you im expecting to see! So dont disappoint me! :lol:

Countdown-- 68hours, 20 minutes!

Taylor.

Only 385 frag's eh.............hope that's enough :twised:

So if the store is open before noon does that mean frag's will do available for sale then or not until noon? Just want to make sure I get there on time for some of the real sweet goodies.

Ill bring a cap gum to show that the Frags are for sale :lol:

But the doors will officially open at 12 oclock, noon.

Taylor

I have a flare gun :twised: but it might bring the heat as it sounds like a 22 pistol :twised:

I am aiming for 11 am arrival myself, armed and dangerous :twised:

That's not counting the ones I have yet to bring from my stockpile. Those were the last 3 orders.

I estimate we all have about 450 or so by Friday.

I can honestly say we may have Edmontons largest stockpile of frags.

Ken

AEWSOME!! Nice going Ken, you are definitely out doing last year :thumb:

I dont know Ken?.......I hear Dez has a few:mrgreen:

2 More days....


Just looked at my latest fish order, lotsa nice things.


Something of special interest, a Super Red Angler.... Already eating, less than 1 hour out of the bad, and eating silversides..

Got a few nice red pistol shrimp too, about 1.5" in size.

Okay, that is just too damn cute, he may just end up coming home with me :lol:
