C.A.R.E. Frag Swap 2016 - Feb 6th

DeniseAndy · Sep 17, 2015

This is no ordinary Frag Swap.

We will be hosting not only a frag swap with great vendors, but also a full educational area for the kids.

Best part, it is at an indoor water resort. So, bring the family for the night and participate in all the fun activities on Friday evening with the family and on Saturday enjoy the day of frag swapping fun while the rest of the family stays entertained at the water park and educational areas.

More info to come soon. Save the dates!!!

Well, as a C.A.R.E. member myself and easier to talk my wife into it since her and the kids can play while I attend the swap I am certain we will be there. Thanks for sharing!

Great way to escape the winter blues!

We have nailed down a few details. Coco Key will be hosting a Friday fun night for the kids and parents. So, if you want to swing by the evening before and have some fun prior to the event on Saturday, it will be a great time.

The water resort has teamed up with the hotel to give rooms at a rate of $80 and this includes 5 water park tickets. This deal is for Friday and Saturday evening stays. Friday evening the kids will be a part of fish races at the lazy river, sharks and minnows games, Finding Nemo movie on the big screen in the water park. Plus fun drinks for the kids and parents at the cash bar.

If you want to just bring the family on Saturday, the water park tickets will be half off! Plus, you will get the chance to see Newport Aquarium traveling sharks, divers from Newport, Cincinnati Zoo, and Reef expeditions. We will have a small traveling reef tank, crafts, games, etc for the kids to do too. Plus some fun family raffles.

For the reef keepers, we will be having some great vendors and great livestock options. We will also be having a great raffle with some top giveaways. More info to come on those!

We hope to get a food truck there and of course as always, lunch for vendors is on us!

Help make this event a fun and worth while event. Not only can you get some great corals and livestock, but you will be helping coral reef awareness programs too!
