Vendor booth reservation is now open. Same for earlybird hobbyists that would like to reserve a table. Although we have a large venue space is limited. We hit capacity last year and were not able to acomadate everyone so don't miss out. To reserve first check the blueprint here, pick your booth number and email it to Mike at worcreeffragswap@gmail.com. Yellow tables are earlybird and blue are vendors.

 

This years raffle grand prize is a 60 LED Orphnek lighting system donated by Gerbers Saltwater Warehouse.

 

Fragswapper will be open in a couple weeks. In the meantime start fragging those corals so they will be healthy when the swap rolls around.

How the Raffle works

At the swap there will be a staging area with several tables setup. The raffle items will be displayed on the tables along with a collection cup next to each item. Place your raffle tickets in the collection cups for the items you wish to win. The raffle tickets can be purchased at the swaps entrance where you pay admittance fee. When the raffle has started someone will mix up the tickets in the collection cup and blindly select one. If it is yours you win that item. The more tickets purchased the better your chances of winning and there is no limit to the number of items you can win. However you must be present to win.

 

How To Get 3 Free Raffle Tickets

In addition to purchasing raffle tickets you can obtain free tickets for posting items for sale on Fragswapper. For every three unique items you post; you will receive one free raffle ticket up to a maximum of 3 free tickets. Your tickets will be waiting for you when you arrive.
