Aquafest 2007~ Laurel, MD

**bigstick120** · 09-12-2007, 12:21 AM

On October 20th/21st, three MD/VA/DC area clubs, PVAS, CCA, and GWAPA are co-sponsoring a new aquarium festival called AquaFest 2007. We will have a fish show, planted-tank demonstration, four fantastic speakers, and an all-day auction (Sunday). Our speakers are:

Eric Do
Freshwater Invertebrates in the Planted Aquarium

Tony Orso
West African Fishes

Rusty Wessel
Collecting in Honduras

Ray "Kingfish" Lucas
Banquet Speaker

Everyone is welcome. The conference is about 15 minutes from BWI airport, right off of I-95. The hotel is offering a discounted rate of $95/night for conference attendees.

Registration is only $10. Meals are available at a la carte prices. The all-day auction on the 21st is free to the public.

More information and registration is available on the AquaFest 2007 website:
http://aquafest2007.org

Since there is no AGA convention this year here is your chance to get together with other folks that share the same obsession!

GWAPA will set up a planted tank for one of the sessions and auctioning off the tank, not sure of the specifics yet on the tank. Bring your friends and family, only 10.00 to register!
