If you haven’t signed up then you need to do so NOW! What are you waiting for?

Typically, these conventions are held out of state and now it’s in Down Town Silver Spring Maryland in the DC Metro Area. Do you know how much money you’re saving by not paying for airfare or rental cars to visit these conventions. It’s quite expensive and now it’s in our local area, so what are you waiting for???


Let me officially re-invite everyone again to a fabulous event that will change your life because if you haven’t been to a ACA Convention then you don’t know what you’re missing.


And if you want to volunteer to help our club make this party happen then God Bless your heart and send us an email or Pm or just show up and be a presence. We would love to have you!

Otherwise come out and have some fun. Bring the kids, bring the Grandparents, Bring the Wife even or vise versa…Dogonit, bring the whole family!!!
:lol:



And if you can't get out of the house for some sort of reason...

Just let us know and we will do our best to come rescue you!:lol:

And if you've never heard of us, We Are the Best Cichlid Club in the Whole Entire World!!!

Well done, Richard!

How does one (or one's kid) sign up for the kids decorating contest? Are "Littelest Pet Shop" figurines allowable decorations?

Thank you Matt!

I had a few hours of down time at the hotel in Toronto and decided to send this out because it's JULY and we're getting closer to the date my brother.

P.S. I think I passed the 2 word quota that Franny said I was doing...LOL!

Franny wasn't the only one.
GREAT work, you should stay out of the Country more often.

ps Only three grammatical errors.

Pat, whose going to tell kid #21 he/she can't be in the event? Maybe preregistration would be better....just saying....

Hans is sponsoring this and its all his idea.
To help get the kids interested.
I think it's a great thing.

We are following his rules.
They will be posted.

The winner gets the tank to take home.

We want all of the people registered for the convention to have a shot at it.
Not just the people that see it on a forum or our web site.
The idea is to wait until most are there and the kids are there and then register. Afraid too many pre register and then not show up. We start the contest with 20 tanks, 20 pre registered and only 15 show up.
There are good points and bad points to any way you do it.
But like I said, Hans it trying to support the future of the hobby and its his baby.

We do have a good many kids registered from out of state.
Should be a good time no matter what.

I do hope we get a good amount of kids to sign up. That would be great!

Don't forget, 14 more days left to go...;)
 
I would be willing to "adopt" a child for a day(day of aquascaping contest only, not day of parents choosing for convenience) for registration purposes

Are there age categories?

Siena's aquascaping skills are well above the average 6-year-old's...but probably shy of the average 16 year-old's? ;)

All good questions, but I think Hans is running it so he should know. Unless Pat or John would like to chime in.

Counting the Days for the ACA Convention in our Nations Capital!
