So it's Monday,the day after the OSRAS conference. Hope everyone had a good sleep after being awake all those hours. I have great thanks , to all the vendors(that drove hours to get to the conference) with thousands of corals and fish. The speakers, Al Ulrich from PA, Chad Clayton from CA, and a great homeboy from MA as our Dinner speaker, Rick Correira. A unforgettable group. With a big clap of hands for Brenda and Debbie(who this conference would not been able to go on without them),Ricky Hogan,Steve Hatch,Carl, Kevil Vinal , Hap, Joe Lawton, and Rose, Maryanne , Amie, Cindy and Jovita (are friends from Connecticut) that were a big help also. Thank you to all the companies that sponsored the conference with the big donations. Make sure you check out Scott Crowe's ( from OSA) video! Thanks again And we can't forget the 539 attendees that came to the show.

I had a great time and came home with 4 new corals! Caught up with a coupla friends that I haven't seen in awhile, all was good. Thanks to the folks that put on the show.

DrSimon · 04/28/2017, 07:39 PM

Been out of town since Sunday night, I just want to say thank you for putting on a great show as usual. It was a fun day, the kids had a blast. See you again next year!

sniper2be · 04/29/2017, 07:33 AM

Was a great time. Will be at the next one!. Did anyone happen to pick up a braven bvr-1 Bluetooth speaker during the break down. I left it there accidentally after I cleaned up. Black with blue trim and a spash of white paint. Left near table 1

We are happy that you guys had a good time! Great to see you Mark, even if it's only once a year! ��
Sniper, I did not hear of anyone finding a Bluetooth speaker, did you call the hotel? Maybe it was turned in to lost and found.

sniper2be · 04/29/2017, 12:49 PM

Yeah I left it on tank breakers table when I was cleaning up and Byron said he left it there.. I have tried multiple times talking to different people at the hotel.. this was my last ditch effort. Thank you for a great event.
