Judging interest level
Hi, I haven't been around the forums much for a few months as it's been a rough summer and fall for me. But, I've been finding alot more time for my reef lately and am eager to develop it further. That's what got me thinking about this idea.
I'm just putting this in the Island forum for now to gauge interest. I was curious if fellow Canreef Aquatics.com reefers would be interested in a swap meet this summer for all and any reef aquatic related stuff. I have a about 2'ish acres of lawn for people to set up tables, blankets ect to sell any reef related hardware. (tanks, plumbing, lighting, their DIY inventions, whatever) Plus we could set up a picnic area with bbq's and even set aside a tenting area for out of towners. Also I have a 40x60 workshop where livestock tanks could also be set up. I think we would run out of electricity and salt water before room  . I also thought if enough interest was shown, maybe some vendors would set up shop and we could see what various venders offer and charge. (though I think I'd charge them admittion. hmm how about a nice coral for my tank. LOL!!!!) I figure if I rent my neighbours vacent lot for parking,I have room for 100+, but just wanted to see if any islanders were interested before I formally put this offer out.

Ken, great offer, but the likelihood of getting any substantial amount of people on the ferry might prove difficult. Certainly put the offer forward for all to respond, and see what develops!!

Well it's an idea I like, but I wonder about Reef Raf's point of "The Big Smoke" people jumping on the boat. I guess the size of the crowd would definately depend on them willing to travel on the big rusty buckets. Maybe throw out the idea and see what happens I guess. Hey wait a minute didn't I already do that?

 You should get a few island reefers anyway Very generous offer anyway...if the big show doesn't pan out maybe just us locals could do a BQ ++ anyway?

Hi, that sounds like a great idea! It would be a great chance to meet everyone, swap stories, ideas, dreams, and just have a great time. Nanaimo is great because it is in the center of the island. I'm in! Regards Ken
