MASVC F.R.A.G. Swap 12/1/2007 Ventura CA

[d0cdave]

Remember the days when everyone brought coolers full of corals, burgers and dogs were cooked to perfection by volunteers, people talked about our hobby over frosty beverages (responsibly of course), and you left feeling like you truly scored on some great stuff?

We believe its possible to bring back that great vibe!

Its time for the MASVC first annual F.R.A.G. swap!
(Fish-Reef-Aquarium Gear)

On December 01 (12:00pm) we open the doors to a 2000 sq ft warehouse for some good old fashioned frag swapping. Were trying our best to keep this event like the classic frag swaps of past.

Heres what you can count on from this event:

Great prizes raffled off after Brad (our President of Vice) finishes each beer!
All the burgers, dogs and chips you can eat (please consider a $3 donation to our club).
SPS, LPS, Zoanthids, Hardware and just about anything else you could want for your aquarium!
Great deals!! (Whats the point in a swap if you can have it delivered to your door from the latest Ultra-Mega-Reef-Farm-Warehouse-Superstore for less?)
A wonderful time!!

We need your help!!

We need some of the local growers/backyard hobbyist who are dedicated to promoting this hobby because they love it and want to share (you know who you are).
We need people to contribute to a potluck because Reefers cannot survive on burgers and dogs alone (Truthfully, Im fishing for someone to bring those awesome lumpias Ive had at Dave Bs swaps!).
Spread the word! This IS the BEST way to stock your tank!

Amenities:

A warehouse with electrical outlets galore!
Free WI-FI (PayPal!!)
Ray promises to raffle off a full-body seaweed and wheat germ wrap to one really lucky prize winner!!
PLENTY of Free parking

Attention all reefers north of Ventura County Now you dont have to drive 3 hours to attend a Swap!!


Please note:

There will be limited commercial vendor space so please PM (private message) d0cdave for details.

If youve ever wanted to attend a classic frag-swap, want to sell/trade some coral or hardware, or just want to hang out with people who have similar interests, come by.

Everyone is welcome!!

And you guys are gonna miss out on some really awesome food, including this that my wife made:
