I hope this is the correct forum for this.....I seen this on the web and just cut and pasted it here.....this looks like it could be a cool event.

Saturday, February 18, 2006 - 9 am to 4 pm

Ontario California Hilton Airport Hotel - Located near the Ontario California Airport which is about 1 hour east of LAX.

We anticipate that up to 40 coral farming vendors will be selling their captive grown or cultured corals to the public. Some of the best coral growers from Southern California, Nevada, Utah, Arizona, Sacramento and the Bay Area of California should be setting up displays within our vendor booths. Farmers will include aquarists, retail reef shops, online coral shops and full scale coral farming enterprises. There will be booths small enough for the individual aquarist farmer and booths large enough for a full scale retailer. In addition to direct sales from vendor-booths, we will also feature coral auctions, raffles and door prizes throughout the day. Weather permitting, auctions will be held on an outdoor enclosed patio.

Reef aquarists and enthusiasts attending this event should expect to see perhaps the best selection of captive grown corals ever presented for sale within the United States. We are also encouraging our farmers to grow specific fragments for sale or auction at our one-day Coral Farmers Market event. Some of these corals will be very rare and hard to find captive gems.

Aquarist and enthusiasts can attend this one-day event by purchasing a Southwestern Coral Farmers Market day ticket online a month or more prior to the event ($15) or within one month of the event ($25). Tickets will also be sold at the door during the day of the event, but may be limited due to maximum occupancy restrictions.
