      UPDATE:
      The hotel is already booking up fast so make your reservations soon. The $89 room rate is only available for a limited number of rooms and after that time the rate will go to the standard rate. Remember to use code "FAF" when making your reservation.

      With over 30 scheduled vendors, the Vendor AREA is almost sold out so we will have a huge selection of products and information to see.

      There will be over a dozen speakers giving talks about everything from water, to collecting, to breeding just about any species you can think of.

      Our sponsors have come through in big ways and our SWAG BAGS will have a value of over $100. This means the first 200 registered participants are going home with more than double thier money back in free gifts.

      There are more things in the works and I guarantee this show will have something for everyone.

      We look forward to seeing you there

              Heck, half the fun is being at the hotel with everyone. It's worth the difference in price. I have my reservation.

                Something I read on their site was that this happens twice a year. This is my first year back home in FLorida but is that true? Do we have a FFS twice a year?

                  No, that is a typo that was supposed to be corrected, it should say biennial (happens once every two years).

                    For some lucky people staying at the hotel they may find a special package in their room when they check in. Anyone who has registered using our promo code FAF will be entered into some free drawings for random prizes.

                    Sshhhh, I'm not supposed to mention that until next month.

                      Lucky people! I couldnt meet the price point for the 3 nights at 89/night. I will however stay til I am kicked out! Looking forward to meeting everyone who comes down.

                      Question: Are they going to video tape these lectures? It would be a great idea to have DVD's of the lectures of all these wonderful speakers.

                          UPDATE: If you plan on attending the show BOOK NOW we were just informed th Holiday Inn sold out unless they get a cancellation between now and the show. We have opened up a block of rooms in the hotel directly next door and all the info is on the contacts page of the show website http://www.flafishshow.com/florida_a...h_expo_008.htm

                          Field trips have limited space and once they are sold out there will be no additional seats added.

                          There are currently only 5 vendor tables left out of the 50 tables that were available.
