Can anyone provide information about this event for someone who has never attended... Trying to decide what is a good time to come, early or late or plan for all day... I may bring my family, and they can only last for a few hours :sad:
thanks

Red,

That is easy, the best looking corals will be available at the start.

The best prices will be at the end.

The speaker afterwards will be great.

Sounds like a two car trip to me.

I agree! I told my wife months ago the 14th of Nov is my day don't make any plans that include me. I plan on being there all day and then going to hear Hiller speak. You can look online at the raffle and auction times if you plan on entering for any of them or like Glenn said are you looking for a special piece? get there early or are you looking for a great deal? Get there right before close.

Yes sir..........I'll be bringing a bunch, most will have 20 heads or so and be in the $20-$25 range.......I got some sweet AOG and 5-8 head Red People Eater frags along with blues, greens, blue and greens, oranges, I got these bright red with blue centers that are crazy nice and always sell out quickly because I sell all my stuff for a very reasonable price.

Anybody know if vendors will hold on to purchased frags for evening pick-up? I'd like to stay for the evening event, but might want to grab some frags early in the day.

I don't plan on buying alot but learned my lesson at the last frag swap and am bringing a small cooler to try to keep a stable temp.

the coral market closes at 4pm, as noted above by one i am sure they will hold them until then. if you plan to attend the event afterwards, a simple cooler will be sufficient to make the temp stable for a couple hours. just be sure to go strait home after the presentation and correct for the temp appropriately.
