    Reef Fest 2016 is right around the corner. This is our biggest event of the Fall season. It will be held at The Fish Bowl in Searcy on 19 November 2016 starting at 10:30. Reef Fest is a coral frag workshop. The cost is $35 for Club members and $45 for non members. All paid participants will learn how to safely cut and mount coral frags. Additionally, each member will leave with 3 frags. There will also be raffles tickets available for purchase for some sweet prizes and if it ends like last year, there may be other coral available for auction or raffle. Seriously, you do not want to miss this event.

    I forgot to mention that the $45 non member price will get you a 1 year membership and all the benefits associated with it. Basically, you are getting the $35 frag workshop and a $25 membership fee for $45. You also will leave with 3 corals, possibly more.

    I am planning on attending. If anybody is lurking and reading this, it's totally worth going. I got great corals and won a biocube tank last year.

    If there are any banners for the event made, I'll post them on the northeast arkansas reef keepers page. Last year, some attended. Searcy is pretty close.

    I won a Biocube the year prior to that. That was the day I joined the club. The best $5 I have ever spent on a raffle ticket.

    Totally worth it. I have only missed one of these events since I attended my first. I absolutely love them. One word to the wise, bring extra cash for raffle tickets and coral auctions.

    BRS is locked in for another year. Also, we have big news from BRS. Jason, is finalizing the details but from what I understand this has awesome potential. Reef Fest will be a perfect place to release the word...if we can wait that long.

    Yep like Doc said, you can pay there. Bring extra for raffles and coral auctions. If you forget, Jason will have a card reader or two.

    Did you really have to make it the same day as the first day of duck hunting season? I am having a hard time figuring what I would rather do!

    Duck season has a day 2. Reef Fest is once a year.

    If you are watching this thread but not posting anything please post so we can see how much interest we have. I am bringing some frags to auction for the club, what do people want?

    I do have 2 extra Slimer's right now. I will reserve one for sure. No promises on the Rastas. I have some fragged but I believe they are all accounted for. I wasn't planning on fragging any more but if more people want to buy some I will frag more and frag an extra for Reef Fest.

    I put in for that day off, but it's not been reviewed yet. I intend to come, but I'm not sure if I can make it yet!
