Last chance to put in raffle tickets is at 3pm. We will pull them and draw in back. Once done we will release info out. Big prizes will draw live. ------------- 180G Mixed Reef Tank 170G Dart Frog Tank |

I would figure on the info release for the minor prizes around 4 PM - ish Like Jon said, major prizes we still do a live drawing We used to do all prizes live... but there are just too many prizes now. The last live drawing we did a few years back took almost 3 hours So we only do the biggies live now. On minors we use a couple of random Fest attendees as 'witnesses' and we do all the drawings one right after another. We will have a handout printed listing ALL the minor prize winners, so everyone can check their tickets at their own pace ------------- - My Current Tank: 65g Starfire (sitting empty for 2+ years) - * Marine & Reef tanks since 1977 * |

Do the vendors give the corals at the end of the show? Or do you just pack them around all day. Just debating what I need to take since the raffle is so late in the day. ------------- RedSea Max S400 - 90G Rimless Frag Tanks x2 - 185 Lookdown Bin |

Yes you can buy tickets the day of the show – and yes, it is open to the general public – not just paid members ------------- - My Current Tank: 65g Starfire (sitting empty for 2+ years) - * Marine & Reef tanks since 1977 * |
