wmcinnes 08-06-2012 04:09 PM

There was a big one in June, I'm sure another in the fall. Check the BC forum for how it all went. Awesome.

Haha. Ken you have to win me something I can use. Although I've down graded and last years prize would be handy now

I am really happy you decided to go ahead with this. I was disappointed when you were unable to plan it.

Speaking of: does this mean your staying put for now

marblesab 08-07-2012 01:12 AM

OOHHH! This is the day before my birthday, so it must be a sign for me to attend! (or at least that's what I'll make my husband believe! LOL):biggrin:

BlueWorldAquatic 08-07-2012 01:42 AM

I have been very very busy for the last few months, but I finally have a moment to breath.

We are in negotiations in a new property, and may be moving in the fall. The space is almost 300 sq/ft, if I get it I'll be calling on people to help us renovate it. If it works out, we will be moving our CB facility onsite, to allow for educational purposes.

I didn't think it'll take too much time to set everything up, unlike out first year where I spent almost 4 months setting it up. I remember fencer (Wayne) said I'd be lucky to get a dozen people to attend. Couldn't believe we had over 150.

Can't even comprehend the fact this is our fourth year for the meet, and thanks as always go to all the volunteers and supporters, and the other vendors that participate. Was nice to see a few other stores attend last year also.

I chose the Sunday after Labor Day again as it allows the people to complete their holidays and back to school stuff.

Lets make this years FF4 better than the last.

It's not BWA that makes the FragFest its all of you that attend. SPREAD THE WORD!

Ken

PS: I have contacted 4 frag suppliers already, and will have a wide selection of LE frags, softies, mushroons, LPS & SPS

Oilers 08-07-2012 05:30 AM

Ken,
You are the best! I would be back in Edmonton just in time for FF4. Want something from Mexico Ken? :biggrin:

Free food and door prizes will always bring a crowd :mrgreen: plus it's a great way to meet others that are into the hobby.

BlueWorldAquatic 08-07-2012 02:37 PM

Just a teaser from one of our suppliers for ff4

BlueWorldAquatic 08-07-2012 04:36 PM

We just got the "official" go ahead from the Edmonton food bank to collect in their name.

As of today, we at BWA will have food drop off box at the store, and money donation information.

BWA will match all cash donations on the day of the Frag Fest.

In the last 3 years we have been fortunate enough to donate over $3000 to the food bank, let's try to do it in one event.

Let's all help feed the hungry.

Ken

Jeff000 08-07-2012 11:05 PM

I am planning some SPS, also some stuff from a NEW supplier.

From today until the FragFest, anyone making a donation to the food bank at the store (goods/money) will recieve an extra draw ticket for the door prizes.

Proteus 08-08-2012 01:46 AM

Wow that's a hell of a order

BlueWorldAquatic 08-10-2012 06:31 PM

ORA will be supplying some prizes for the door prizes, and I will be putting together a $300 frag pack for the draw also.

The Grizz 08-11-2012 02:47 AM

Also like frag packs too :biggrin:

reef_rookie 08-12-2012 12:58 AM

Are there any local reefers planning on bringing in Frags?

BlueWorldAquatic 08-12-2012 01:18 AM

Always a few, bets time for selection is at the beginning.

Don't be shy, even the ugliest mushrooms get interest, its a feeding frenzy for anything.

No just for frags too, lots of people brought used tanks & equipment.

If not, just come for the BBQ, always a good time to be had.

Any donations between now and the FragFest will get you an additional ticket for the draws.

Ken

triggereef 08-13-2012 10:26 PM
