Where do we start? Rob and I would like to thank everyone who made this year's Chattanooga Area Aquatic Society's annual swap meet such a huge success. We would like to recognize some of the very important people and businesses that made it all possible!! So here goes ... THANK YOU to:
All the hobbyists who turned out !!! All the work that goes into a swap like this is meaningless without the support from you all, both freshwater and saltwater, enthusiasts. There were people representing other groups from Atlanta , Knoxville, and all points in between and beyond!!
Ethan Dickson, his staff, and all the volunteers from the CAAS that gave their time and energies in setting up, advertising, collecting raffle items from national and local companies and soooo much more.
Local Coffee, once again, for opening their facility up to us and providing the CAAS with tables and chairs to accommodate all the vendors who turned out to show and sell their goods.
East Ridge Elementary School for allowing overflow parking in their parking lot. Last year, parking was at a premium so the ERES deserves a huge thank you for their permission.
Thank you to all the individuals and companies that supplied a wide assortment of items for our raffles. Also, to everyone who purchased the raffle tickets which help to secure venues and supplies for all CAAS events.
The swap was a huge success but please do remember your LFSs are here year round and very much appreciate your business.
We would encourage everyone to SUPPORT LOCAL small businesses, whenever possible. Thanks once again !!!
