A special thanks to Keith for all the hard work he put into setting up the table and displays for NADA. This all came together at the last minute for us (less than two weeks) and was staffed by the Midwest Discus Association volunteers. Keith went above and beyond all our expectations!

I ran to get a cup of coffee and maybe pee once on Friday, other than that I thought we had one or more persons at the booth the rest of the time. Not sure how we missed you, but sorry we didn't get to meet.

$2.75 for a cup of coffee and $5.50 for a soda, so not exactly free Skip. I could thank the guy from San Diego at the MACNA 2016 booth across the aisle for sharing his left over beer the last half hour of the show though. :) Not sure I've ever had a grapefruit beer before, Ballast Point from San Diego. It was actually pretty good stuff. Of course I probably also needed a couple at that point.

Yes a thank you to Discus Hans for making this all possible. He helped NADA secure the booth and he donated 10 great discus so NADA could do a fundraising raffle.

Hi Skip,

I know you probably meant that comment as a joke, but if you knew how hard Keith worked up to, and during the 3 day show, you probably wouldn't have made such a flippant remark.

I'd like to nominate Keith for the Simply MVP AWARD for all his hard work in promoting Discus keeping and NADA at the Aquatic Show in Chicago.

While all Keith's work is greatly appreciated, NADA and Simply are two different entities. Al is just kind enough to give us our (NADA) own little sub section in his forum. Now, if NADA had an MVP award of the month, Keith would win hands down this month no doubt about it!

We do have an MVP award :). Al just started it this month and it just so happens that Paul is currently our MVP, but you can always submit your noms too :)

I was excited to see a NADA booth at the expo. Wasn't expecting it at all. It was a shame that I couldn't enter the raffle as I had no tank to hold new fish if I won LOL.

Nice job everyone, especially Keith.

Thanks bud, it was great having all you guys there Sunday, especially since I started getting that cold Saturday and was starting to drag. I was completely wiped by the time I got my fish back in their tanks Sunday. Ended up missing work Monday and Tuesday. Okay, maybe missing wasn't the right word to use. :) Man, I'd forgotten how bad daytime television is.

I definitely missed you Friday, setting up solo was a bit of a drag. I finally got everything the way I wanted it though 10 minutes before the doors opened. I'm counting on you for sure for the NADA show, especially now that I got your promise in writing. :D

Well that's a bummer to hear, hope it's nothing too serious. I'll be looking for you in July, if not before.
