Good show, Aquatic Experience.....

...We got there a few minutes after it opened up for everyone. There were lots of families, and folks from various fish clubs from near, and out of state. A really good crowd from what we could see...folks were constantly arriving...We saw many old friends there, and made some new ones...got big bag of samples and hand outs each...and Jan won a Betta throwing ping pong balls at glasses that were set up....LOL...we chose a red one with an attitude 
..Talked with Stephen Tanner for awhile, and told him hello from Dennis....really a nice guy..we'd met before at the ACA in Indianapolis a few years ago....
...Some of the local fish clubs had ser up tables/booths too. Salt water was very well represented by vendors and hobbyists.....a few aquascape/pond scape vendors also....even a huge, big, monstrous shark take with three good sized beauties....largest looked 8 ft or better.... ....a real nice landscaped  pond was featured on an island set up ...very nicely done, and stocked...
...more later.......I have some pics and vids to pop up here...

....we stopped at a nice little restaurant on the way back, in a small town....great burgers...huge and juicy...and they load em good...then smother the plate in fries....yum yum.....
