Who wants to go to MACNA for a day?

[zooqi]

I'm planning to leave early morning and back the same day and go just to shows. I would like to be there for three days but the money I will be spending there I can use to buys some stuff for one of the schools so not planning to be there more than one day. If anybody wants to go and share gas then please let me know. Leaving Williamsport and going south to Harrisburg area to DC so if you want to be picked up on the way is fine too. I can check the route but I'm sure is 15 south to 83 south from Harrisburg.

[fishesRdelicious]

which day are you going?

[yellowtruck75]

Any chance you are going down the turnpike to I95 through Delaware? Which day are you goin down? I would like to see some of the exhibits and maybe pickup some nice corals.

[bmac]

yea what day are you going ?

[zooqi]

Going to Harrisburg to pick up two on my way and then to 83 south from there and then to 95 south.
I'm planning to go for Saturday show and leave my house really early so we are there early.

[zooqi]

Mo
I live right off the Marsh road exit on I95 right above Wilmington DE. Count me in for this great trip. E-mail me if you want my phone number so I can explain to you where I could meet you along 95. I am calling to check and see if I have any previous arrangments for the day but I doubt it.


I call Shotgun :)

[yellowtruck75]

Do we have to register ahead of time or can we just pay when we get there on Saturday the 17th?

[zooqi]

You can pay me ahead of time (kidding)
I think you can pay at door that day....

So you are in

We can have two more..
Mo

[bmkindig]

[yellowtruck75]

[yellowtruck75]

So who are the people going with Mo to MACNA? How many other people from NCPARS are going?

[bmkindig]

[zooqi]

I have two people so far and thought I had three.
It will be
YellowTruck75
and
Rick from corals and more (http://coralsandmore.com/)

I will be picking up Rick in Harrisburg Area and then YellowTruck75.
Just a note for those who are going that my cell number is
570 337 9069 in case if you wanted to call me and did not know where to find my phone number. Who else is going ? One more thing that those who are sitting in the back seat will have luxury of watching Dora, Bob the builder, thomas the tank engine, Mickey Mouse and if you want to bring your own movie to watch feel free.

Thanks

good thing I called shotgun a few posts ago :)

Mo
I will have to talk to you about where you can get my along I95. I live a few street off of the Marsh road exit in DE but closer to 95 there is a highschool that I could park at that you might be able to meet me there. I think it is one turn off of 95 and less than a mile.

[yellowtruck75]

Any chance this thing sells out and we won't be able to buy tickets at the entrance? Or is it wise to buy one online today?

[yellowtruck75]

Any of you guys planning on bringing corals home from MACNA? If so how are you doing this?

[zooqi]

I don't think I will be bringing any from macna and if I do then it should not be a problem since is the same day trip.

[bmkindig]

hey zack,
i'm taking a 10 gallon tank and a power head the frag exchance will be giving away frags all weekend the they teach you new ways to frag/or how to frag. you might want to take a coolerthere our other vendors that sell corals to dr. mac is 1 of them.

[yellowtruck75]

Do many vendors sell some nice frags? Also I have seen people talking about vendors only selling on the last day is this true?

[bmkindig]

yes there was 1 or 2 like that. lots of nice thing and lots of not so nice things just like any other place you go.but you can stock up on lots of free goodies to. i still have food left from last year.

[yellowtruck75]

Sounds good I can't wait until Saturday. I think I might take a small cooler and leave it in the car just incase I have frags to take back with me.

[bmkindig]

i would diffinatly do that zack i event is like a 3 day ncpars meeting with only with speakers and alot more vendors and oh the raffle,all i can say there is wow

[yellowtruck75]

Mo when are you planning on leaving your place on Saturday morning? Any idea when you will be on I95 so I can have a sense to when I have to get up on Saturday?

[zooqi]

I will be leaving at 5 am my house and it looks like is going to be you and I so far and the rest backedup.

[yellowtruck75]

What happen to everyone else? That stinks that no one else will be going. I hope you don't want to cancel the trip because of the lack of interest. I will e-mail you with my cell phone number and a place that you might be able to meet me and we will go from there.

[yellowtruck75]

e-mailed you

[zooqi]

Got your email and yes we are going. It will be fun ride.
