2021 Coral Fragging Workshop and Raffle & BoD elections Sept 26th 3pm - 7pm

[JaimeAdams]

It is that time once again for the annual coral fragging workshop and raffle. I have purchased dozens of colonies from Australia and will demonstrate fragging them, until the event they will be at The Reef Gallery. At the end we will raffle off all of the coral with proceeds going back to the club to try to recoup some of the coral/shipping costs. Last year was a smashing success with hundreds upon hundreds of frags going out to new homes. The thread from last year has pictures showing the sheer amount of coral that was up for grabs. We plan on doing the demonstration from 3pm - 5pm and then doing the raffle from 5pm - 7pm. We will be setting up on @acer patio and you all need to bring chairs and set up in the yard. Raffle tickets are $1 buy as many as you want.

Today is the day. I'm at the store packing up the rest of the coral and then the cutting and chopping begin.

I have been a long time lurker on forum, but I haven't posted much. I am interested in attending this event. Unfortunately, I work on the 26th and I wouldn't be able to get there until 430-445. Would I still be able to purchase raffle tickets and participate in the drawings if I show up a little before 5pm?

Absolutely, the tentative time-line has the raffle not taking place until 5pm, so you should be perfectly fine.

I'm still gathering coral and that's just off the top of my head I'm sure there are things that I'm missing.

Had a great day at the coral frag workshop today.

 

[bkhunt]

Wow!! This has to be my best raffle win ever. This thing is amazing. It is the one I was worried about just because of their track record being fragged.
