October Swap Meet and Open House

[dennysfishroom]

Just thought I'd start things rolling on the October Swap Meet and Open House to be held at the Rogers on Saturday, October 18th, 2008. We'll run the Swap Meet from 2-5pm with hot dogs, hamburgers, and whatever at 5pm. It will be open to everyone with tables costing $5 as a donation to the club. You can swap, dicker or sell your excess stuff with whoever shows up. I will also be posting an invitation on the HASS site and the Oklahoma City sight. May even try the St. Louis club. It's a drive, but what else do people have to do on a Saturday afternoon? If it rains, we will have enough room for several tables inside. Details to follow. Please let me know if you're coming as we get closer to the date. Denny Rogers 479-359-0088

Count me in and I will see how many from OKAA will join me.

[dennysfishroom]

I was going to post on the OKAA forum as we got a little closer. I'd love to have some of you come over. I'm not sure how much of a swap meet we'll actually end up having because it's our first, but it will be good to get to know you guys. We're really looking forward to meeting you.

I will post it tonight.

[Herpchat]

OK its posted on OKAA.

Hubby and I managed to get the same day off so we will be coming over.
We plan on bringing some things with us:

Used 20H Tanks
longfin & standard fin albino & brown bristlenose~~~~I have some very nice brown males in both fin types~~~~the albinos are all 1"-2"
Black Moscow guppies
Red Cherry Shrimp
L260 Hypancistrus sp. "Queen Arabesque" 1"-2"
Malaysian wood
Cholla
and assorted stuff

Looking forward to meeting some folks

[dennysfishroom]

Well, it looks like we've got 2 tables spoken for. Anyone else planning on taking a table? We've got probably 4 available here, and if we get more interest than that, we'll just have to have some of you bring your own card tables. See you all Saturday at our meeting at 7pm at the Rogers Police Department. Denny

Sorry I won't be able to make it.

[sumpnfishy]

Neither will I. I guess my fellow manager's guard duty is more important or something

[HiroPro]

I'll try to be there. I'd like to bring some stuff but I don't know if it warrants a whole table.

[sskruzr]

What is it? Maybe I'll buy something outright.

[HiroPro]

I'll have to sort through all my jun... <ahem> goodies to see what I need to purge. I need to sell a older 125G saltwater setup for my brother-in-law but I haven't got a price figured up yet - I'll just bring a listing for that.

I'll be bringing some GBR fry, clown killie fry, Endlers and maybe a few others. Maybe some plants too.

[dennysfishroom]

Hey Corey,

If you can't make it, maybe you can get someone to bring some stuff for a table or share a table. It would be really cool if we all invited new people to come, also. Denny

[dennysfishroom]

So far it looks like we've got 3 tables sold for the swap meet next Saturday. It would be nice to have a few more, as well as good participation by our club members. I think we've got 4 tables available, and if more people sign up we'll have to see about who else can bring tables. See you all Saturday for the October meeting. Denny

[HiroPro]

Denny - I guess count me in for a table.

October Swap Meet and Open House to be held at the Rogers on Saturday, October 18th, 2008

btw - it's going to be held at the Rogers ... what?

[dennysfishroom]

That's at the "Denny Rogers house". I guess it can be a little confusing with the my name being the same name as the city. The location will be in Garfield, AR. Denny

[HiroPro]

Would you mind posting a map to your place for those that haven't been before?

[dennysfishroom]

I'll get something out next week. I'll have to send something to everyone who's planning on coming. Denny

[paramedic07]

is the meeting this saturday october 11 or saturday the 18th at rogers pd?

[etheonut]

The meeting is this Saturday at the Rogers Police Station starting at 7pm. I will be bringing you some duckweed if you still want some.

[dennysfishroom]

I couldn't figure out how to contact the St. Louis club, but if anyone knows how, please invite them to our Swap meet and Open House Saturday. Denny

Take Hwy 62 east from Rogers towards Eureka Springs. Once in Garfield, immediately after passing the Buss Stop, turn right on Hwy 127. Go 6 miles until you get to Slate Gap Rd.. Turn right and go about 100 yards. It's the first driveway on the left. You can't see the house from the street, so come on in.

[etheonut]

Denny,

They have a Yahoo Group. Go to http://groups.yahoo.com and do a search for MASI. That should give back their group fairly easily. You will then have to join their group in order to post anything there.

Michael and I are both members. I won't be able to post anything until tomorrow at the earliest and with packing and leaving I probably won't get to it to be honest. Michael may be able to take care of it.

Kevin

[HiroPro]

Is this open to the general public?

[dennysfishroom]

Anybody can come. Actually, we'd like to see a lot of people come just to introduce them to the club. It would probably make it more attractive to the people getting tables if more people came, also. Call me if you have questions or need directions.

I sure hope that we have a good turnout from those of you who are on the forum, but maybe haven't made any of our meetings. We would like to show you what a club is all about, and how much fun we do have at our events. We'd also like to get to know you so we have a face to go along with the forum name. Several of our members do have commitments that they can't get out of on Saturday, so it would really be nice for the others of you to step up for this event. Hope to see you all on Saturday. Denny

[sskruzr]

Hopefully I got the ad to the daughter in time for tomorrow's paper. If not, it should be in there Saturday while I'm in Sioux City. Hope it's a good turn out.

[Herpchat]

OK how about a map and maybe name tags would be a good idea.

[dennysfishroom]

If I knew how to add a Google map it might be helpful, but I don't. Assuming you can get to Rogers, AR on I - 540 north, take exit 86 east (right) to Hwy 62 (signs may say Eureka Springs). Stay on Hwy 62 into Garfield. The Buss Stop restaurant will be on the right. Immediately after the Buss Stop take a right on to Hwy 127. Stay on Hwy 127 for about 6 miles. When you get to Slate Gap Rd. turn right. Go about 100 yards and my mailbox is the first one on the left. The driveway is about 150 yards long and just park along the side of it. We'll be downstairs (the lower drive). If you run into problems call me at 479-359-0088. Our address is 12310 Slate Gap Rd. My GPS can't find me, so you can use the intersection of Hwy 127 and Slate Gap Rd. for a reference. Hope to see you and lots of others. Denny Rogers
