This year, we decided to continue our Winter swap meet to include other clubs, so we will have dedicated tables for each of the participating clubs. Each club will have a set number of tables that their club members can use to set up and sell their items—you'll see everything from live fish, invertebrates, and isopods to plants and other natural decor; tanks and equipment (both used and new); non-natural decor, for those of you with a penchant for plastic and silk; dry supplies like fish foods, wet supplies like water treatments and medicines... it'll be a good selection, to be sure!
If you are a member of one of the participating clubs and are interested in selling at the swap meet, please reach out to your club organizer(s) to discuss space at the club tables. To reiterate, 𝙚𝙖𝙘𝙝 𝙞𝙣𝙙𝙞𝙫𝙞𝙙𝙪𝙖𝙡 𝙘𝙡𝙪𝙗 𝙞𝙨 𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙥𝙤𝙣𝙨𝙞𝙗𝙡𝙚 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙞𝙩𝙨 𝙩𝙖𝙗𝙡𝙚𝙨—𝙞𝙛 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙝𝙖𝙫𝙚 𝙞𝙩𝙚𝙢𝙨 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙬𝙤𝙪𝙡𝙙 𝙡𝙞𝙠𝙚 𝙩𝙤 𝙨𝙚𝙡𝙡 𝙖𝙩 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙨𝙬𝙖𝙥, 𝙥𝙡𝙚𝙖𝙨𝙚 𝙨𝙥𝙚𝙖𝙠 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙘𝙡𝙪𝙗 𝙤𝙧𝙜𝙖𝙣𝙞𝙯𝙚𝙧(𝙨) 𝙗𝙚𝙛𝙤𝙧𝙚 𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙘𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙤𝙪𝙩 𝙩𝙤 𝙎𝘾𝙏𝙁𝙎.

Each club with have an opportunity to give a short presentation about themselves, their goals, and the benefits of being a member, so this will also be your chance to learn about and join other clubs, or find out what the benefits are if you've been considering joining, but haven't committed yet.

Perhaps best of all, you'll have access to one of the largest groups of aquarium hobbyists, amateurs and even some professionals to come together outside of a major convention setting; ask them all of your burning questions, and get the answers you need!
If you still have questions, please take a look at the FAQs below—if your answer isn't there, please feel free to leave a comment on this event with your question and we'll make sure to answer it for everyone!
