Emerald525 Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 Yes it was fun! The best part was scoring some really good deals at the end ! Vendors kept handing us stuff to for the clubs and we got some potential new sponsors! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rgrcrain Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 As far as im concerned I got some pretty good deals too. Got 8 new zoas, an australomussa for 60 bucks that might be a little sick, and a ORA Bellina acro for 40. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael7979 Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 So how was PNWMAS represented in comparision to the other local clubs? How was the overall turnout? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racefan Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 Saturday seemed busy. As it turned out Kevin did not need me to volunteer Sunday (well, he needed breakdown help, but when you get up for work at 2:30am it's impossible to leave Seattle around midnight) So when I ran in Sunday to grab a clam that Barrier Reef was holding for me, they said attendance was about 1/3 of what it was Saturday. I'm sure the first nice weekend in awhile did not help for the ones who were on the fence as far as going or not. Hopefully the vendors did well enough to want to return next year.

Emerald525 Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 Beth and I too were enjoying the nice weather and got there around 2pm. Attendance was not as good Sunday as the weather was awesome. I also think the 25 dollar per day fee was a lot and they may have done better offering a 2 day discount. There was pretty good representation from the pnwmas as I saw Mick (JGF), Micah (cellowgills), Marshall(trautman), Kris, Roy, Jim (gumby), smann, kshack. Missed seeing u there rgrcrain and racefan. Also Tim was sharing a booth with sunlight supply(Joel) and Taylor (pnkrcklves) was helping him. Nick from rosecity showed up too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gumby Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 I had fun handed out alot of cards to potential members. Also scored some good deals on corals. I agree with Beth about the cost. I also think maybe having a family or couple rate. Not all family members are hobbyist so you pay $50 to $75 and maybe only one family member is interested the others probably could care less about the hobby. Beside that it was fun to meet alot of new people. I would love to hook up with some of the other clubs when they have some of the big frag swaps.

rgrcrain Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 The price was a little high, but im pretty sure the deals I got made up for it. It was kind of a pain to drive 2-1/2 hours and find out in the last mile that the exit to get there was closed. Here is the Australomussa I picked up, should the mouth being wide open like that worry me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reefcam Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 I have mixed emotion about the show. The price was a bit high with the number of vendors. Not many good deals on dry goods but did managed to pick up some nice corals. The banners were not all that visible when driving by. Look hard is all I can say. I was expecting a nice big bright sign and people outside, but neither happened. Thanks to Tim for setting me straight. Also picked up some nice corals from him. Thanks Tim! But going Sunday was the best. I'm glad I missed the crowd. Easier to talk to the manufacturer reps. And my kids were able to run around on their own. I say, next year, have them bring it down to Portland. I have never gone through so many detours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stylaster Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 Hey guys. I got to see several friends I haven't seen for years, and made new ones. I worked my butt off for you all getting new sponsors and donations! Overall we did sell to many corals, but I made a ton of new contacts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

k9flash Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 I think it was a great time. Me and the wife enjoyed the spontaneous road trip to Seattle, other than all the detours. Loaded up on some swag and found some cool ideas for the next tank. Wish it is in PDX next time but Seattle is such a beautiful city I didnt mind making the trip for this one. Though I did have to stop by OIAB on the way home as I had a couple bucks still burning a hole in my pocket. (naughty) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cellowithgills Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 I got 2 yellow tangs and 5 chromis out of the touch tank. Unfortunately, i didn't realize that the bag had a small leak and it emptied in the cooler. I lost all but one(sad). So far the Tangs look good but i've still got 5 hours of driving ahead and they're in a single bag each. I think I'm going to stop at OIAB to get them double bagged.

Emerald525 Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 We are almost home. We picked up Trautman in Tukwila with a box of free fish he got from the touch tank. I'm not sure a tang is the best fish for a touch tank! Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
impur Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 Whats a touch tank? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emerald525 Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 It was a large tank where kids could stick their hands in and touch everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cellowithgills Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 So i got them rebagged at OIAB, both looked great and the water wasn't to bad either. Sorry to hijack the thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
