In addition to the advertised vendors, I believe that Paul Hamby from Seattle has decided to do the Portland show as well as the Seattle show. Top shelf vendors all around! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is among the best vendors in the trade, since he doesn't like to ship this is the best way to buy on the spot 😋 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who were the big raffle winners? @Emerald525 was almost the big winner. Technically she won both the MP40 and the ReefFi LED light. But... What a generous woman. She wanted the ReefFi grand prize, and turned the MP40 back in - to allow a re-draw and someone else took home the MP40. Class Act! 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sold tickets to the vendors and one guy bought one ticket that I put in the box for him and he won the radion. It was a great time. The vendors were a lot of fun and there was a lot of nice coral at good prices. Reef of clowns had nice art and photos at good prices! I hope this becomes an annual event.
