I hope that anyone that is close enough can make this. I'm definitely going to make this, as well as a few other MFK members. It really is going to be awesome, with vendors like Amazon Tropicals, and Cichlid Exchange being there. Also trying to see if Rapps will show up as well. :)

Hope to see you there! :)
