In the style of the Tom Barr Plantfest last year, this will be very informal. Everyone that comes will be responsible for making all their own arrangements including transportation to the various venues throughout the weekend.
Activities planned (but subject to change) are a visit to Mike and Jeff Senske’s ADG Gallery, an aquascping class by Luis Navarro, visits to see some of Luis' aquariums, a party at Valerie's and a chance to see her aquarium, visits to the local pet shops, a possible trip to Japanese Gardens, and light native plant and fish collecting let by a local biologist. The guided collecting will be in the same aquatic preserve that Claus Christensen was taken to before the 2002 AGA Convention that everyone wishes they could have gone on

Sorry this does not give people that might be interested much time to plan, but we have been plagued by illnesses that have kept us from getting things organized.
More information will be posted at a later date.
