I wish to thank all that showed up to make this event a success, and I would like to give a shout out to Mother Nature for giving us a day we can work with. This event would not be anything if it wasn’t for the support from the participants, volunteers & sponsors.

Looks like we grew about 30% from last year. This event can only get larger.


A big thanks to all the following (In no particular order);

Our sponsors;
  • ORA - Laura Cousins
  • Let’s Play – Lenny (Alang), and Tim
  • Red Coral – Steve (Edmonton), Doug (Calgary)
  • M&M Meats Millwoods Towne Centre – Jason (Subman)

My staff, for putting up with me;
  • Shannon, Taylor, Rachel

The volunteers;
  • Lindsey (Bean)
  • Allen (Big Al)
  • Rob (Big Tang)
  • Laurie (Fishoholic)
  • Dawn (Noirsphynx)
  • Wayne (Fencer)

Air Bounce Attendants;
  • Haley & Christawna

And especially the cooks;
  • Blair and Tim

Hopefully everyone that attended had a good time.

FragFest 3 is just around the corner, start thinking about setting up your frag tanks soon, and what ever surplus equipment you may have. One persons junk, is another’s start up equipment for another.

Remember, FragFest is just the event name, the concept is buy sell trade all aquarium based items.

We need more participants, and the ones that did bring frags and surplus equipment noted that they were cleaned out in minutes. Nice to have our hobby/addiction, pay a bit for themselves, or at least clear out some space in the basement or garage and keep your significant other happy.

And to all of you that couldn't attend this year, hope to see you next year.

hmmmm, FragFest After Dark.... :twised:


See you next year,

Ken - BWA

No... I didn't make it. I was out on the road bike around the city.
I didn't remember about FF until later or I might have pedaled on by. Too bad for you all as I look damn fine in Lycra. :mrgreen:

On a sad note...After the FragFest
 
After one of our Purple Nudi's were sold to Raimie eventhough he knew the one left would be heartbroken, as they were seen frolicking together for a week.

We are sad to announce that it tried to commit suicide by powerhead.

Good-Bye cruel world...

Luckily we were at the store before he made the final plunge to stop this nonsense.
