Thanks Kevin
Was great to get rid of so many frags to make room for all the new ones I got

Thanks red coral team! New store looks sexy!

If anyone missed out on any of my frags i have a few left. Although keep in mind that the ONE DAY ONLY $2 frag special is over. The new price per frag has gone up considerably to $4 a frag.

.................................................. ..........................*takes a deep breath and exhales*................................... whew! that was one crazy day ....wall to wall reef junkies for hours.......I had sooooooooooo much fun:wink:...........the event was, I would hazard a guess to say..... not a disappointment.... lots of people brought stuff, and lots of people sold all of what they brought......and lots of people met lots of people, which is what this whole event was about......Kevins wife lost count of the people at 180!.....that to me is huge for our first fragfest......and the fact that Kevin decided to have the grand opening sale at the same time was the kicker.....Red Coral may have hosted the event but the reefer turnout is what made it so cool(to me anyway)......thanks C-town reefers, I had a blast!

Awesome work Red Coral! Looking forward to next years already!:mrgreen::lol:

You know it will become a annual FragFest! Now

Except we can't call it FragFest because edmonchuck has a trademark on it.

Oh.. well we cant very well call it the Red Coral Grand opening and Frag Swap.. we will have to come up with a creative new name.

perhaps CoralCon? :mrgreen:

Ooh I like that! Or Calgary Coral Con. C3 to be kool and hip. Need t-shirts.

I like it

I LIKE IT!! I would definitely show up for the Calgary Coral Con at Red Coral (next years prizes should be for saying that 10 times fast) i like that last one though... C3RC

How about Fragstock! Frag......and they will come!

Lisa suggested "fragapalooza"

Haha Thanks Dougy.


And thanks to everyone who came out. I had a blast!

Wouldn't that be "Field of Frags"?

Anyone take any pic's? I wanta see how it went....Kien?????Kevin????

Kien had his camera, so I'd imagine there are a few...

Steve

Oh Kien :boink: :boink: post :photo:

I was going to give them to Kevin today to post but if he says it's ok I can throw them up in this thread. They are pics of his store and customers so I didn't want to just throw them up without permission :-)

Pics!pics!Pics!!:mrgreen:

I am so sad I missed this huge event! :cry:Sounds like it was alot of fun! It would have been so great to catch up with all you local reefers! Maybe we should do a biannual fragapalooza (or whatever it is we are calling it!)

Interesting, I seem to have something that all the ladies want. For once.

Hahaha...what does your wife have to say about that??

She'd laugh and call him on that!

Don't get too used to it bud..... I've learned that some of these reef Girlys only want you til they get what they want:razz::mrgreen:

*please be talking about frags*

*please be talking about frags*

*please be talking about frags*

Which is why we are goin to keep this between you and me (as usual).

She would only be able to call him on it if she was able to stop laughing hysterically long enough. :twised:

My permission Kien Thanks. I will be posting pics shortly but my pics are in the early stages during setup and before it got crazy busy.
