I want to begin with mentioning how overdue this thread is. This should have been posted right after the event, and I apologize for my short absence.

As for our first Southwest Coral Farmers Market........Everyone that attended and was part of this, YOU_ROCKED_THIS_SHOW!!! We were extremely successful and I am very proud at how you all represented Arizona. There is NO doubt that this will become an annual event that we can put on every year.

I really hope everyone had a good time. i am very thankful to be part of this. I am humbled by all of your comments I have read. We truly appreciate all the support we have received. Thank you all so much!!

Now on the flip side we could use some constructive criticism for next year. So if there was something that you would have liked to see done different please let us know. Your feedback is important.

Now where can I possibly begin with the thank yous? How about here.

I would like to thank our guest Steve Tyree himself for helping organize this great event. And for letting us use the equipment (that i wouldn't have thought of) for this event. For being a great and humble shephard of our very successful first time show. I couldn't have done it with out you.

Jake for a surprising appearance. I spent a good amount of the weekend with Jake and learned and incredible amount through him. Also thank you for the promotions.

I want to thank my volunteer crew that did way more than they should have to help out at this event. I think of these guys as my family.

I want to thank all the vendors and their employees and helpers that made this show possible. Our local LFS represented extremely well for first timers. I hope everyone was satisfied with the show and I am very grateful you all were able to make it out.

Thank you to the out of state vendors ReefKoi, Gonzo Corals, YourReef, The Coral Shop, and Reef Farmers, that were able to work hard to make it out here. You guys are clearly vets at this kind of thing and i hope you found our little show worth your while and you are able to come back next year. You all did a great job. And I was honored to have you all at our event.

And of coarse, thank you to all of you for showing up supporting the club, supporting Coral Farmers Market, and for supporting all of the vendors that showed. I hope you all had a great time and if there is anything I can do to improve this next year PLEASE let me know.

I want to thank all the nice folks at Tempe Mission Palms that made this a very easy and smooth process.
