>      Most if not all clubs reimburse the seller for any bags not sold.
Also I've know several members that have basically donated that too.
>      We ALL support the clubs and the AKA in different ways. MOST of us
feel this is a hobby, and really it boils down to having an entertaining
weekend, which is another story.
>      The fish are to the shows like gas is to fire, they are only 1 part,
to have a great show or a big explosion you need a combination of key
ingredients. Now take the Chicago show, rumor has it, it was considered by
many a great show but may have lost money. Some really good people showed
up, great conversation and supposedly there was FREE entertainment,
purported by Jim Hinkle. Maybe a Capt. or 2 might have had something to do
with it, dunno.
>      Anyway, the Board, Clubs & all the members, NEED to keep focus that
this is a hobby and hobbies need to remain fun. If it no longer remains that
way, no exotic fish in the world will make a difference. I've known people
who manually changed water on 200+ tanks, drove hundreds of miles, and in an
instant, when it became like work gave it all up.
>      I think the shows overall have been effected by the current economy
and ridiculous gas prices, etc. I felt the Michana show had the best turn
around this year and should continue to get better. I heard Jim Hinkle
spearheaded that, excellent setting, everything a killie psycho needs in one
place, hats off !
>      There's a business saying, worry abouth the pennies and nickles, the
dollars will come. Well in this hobby, worry about the attendance and the
dollars will also follow.
