I just wanted to take a minute to thank everyone who busted their butt this weekend making The Big Fish Deal a memorable event. I have lost count of the number of folks who came up to me over the weekend saying that they are already looking forward to next year. I hope that I don't forget anyone on this list. If I do, I apologize ahead of time and will blame it on the hang over from the weekend.
Thanks to Sammi for organizing the kids activities.
Thanks to Frank for organizing the Aquarium Beautiful competition.
Thanks to Will, Becca, and everyone else who helped with securing sponsors. We had some really nice stuff.
Thanks to Rachel and Tony for getting some great speakers to the event and making sure that they were taken care of during the weekend.
Thanks to Will, Matt, and Tony for making sure the hospitality suite was well stocked.
Thanks to O'Shea for running a smooth auction and coordinating picking up fish from so many vendors. Thanks to Shawn, Mahesh, Andrew, and Anthony for getting all those fish bagged up and ready for sale.
Thanks to Andrew for making sure the registration table was smooth. Well done. Thanks to all who took turns manning registration. I don't think anyone was overburdened with manning the table.
Thanks to Jim for taking care of the finances. Great job, as always.
Thanks to all who pitched in helping where needed. We really had a good turn out this year of volunteers to help shoulder the load.
And finally, I'd like to thank Christine for shouldering the bulk of the behind the scenes load. Being the Convention Chair isn't an easy thing. You had a thousand things going on all the time and things came together quite well. I personally appreciate your hard work, the many late nights you spent trying to pull stuff together, and the hair you must have pulled out when things weren't going so well. Great job.
Again - If I missed anyone, it wasn't on purpose. I really am grateful for all who pitched in. We put together one heck of a weekend.
