Yes. Thank you JT for making the trip down to Hamilton to drop off the frag tank, it was a pleasure chatting with you.  Awesome that you were able to donate something for FragFest.

....now if only a couple of other players would step there game up and add to the donations...hint hint  ;)

I'm thinking $2 a ticket.  If I go with $1 I may end up with too damn many in the boxes, harder to keep track etc.

Does that seem fair?



As for the collector frags, only the big man himself knows the answer to that ;)

[/quote]If Im lucky I will have one or two ORA pearlberry, hawkins and tyree purple monster frags there.  If I give them away I may have none to sell.  These are colonies I can't buy....it has taken years of growth to even get to the point of being able to sell frags.  As for the jack-o-lantern lepto....well that one I paid $700 for a 1.5" piece not that long ago...its maybe 2.25" now.  I dont think I will be fraging that one up for a raffle give away.  Again not a colony I have ever seen for sale at a LFS.

I do want to do something though.  I just have some reservations about raffling off livestock which could potentially put some rare, expensive and hard to keep corals into the hands of someone who only spent a few bucks and is possibly not prepared to keep them thriving.

I thought about this for a while and I think I will offer a $200 frag bucks credit.  That way the person who wins can pick whether they want expensive/rare corals, or more medium corals, hard to keep corals or easy beginner corals.  More choice the way I see it.  I will also make it retro active if the winners wants.  I assume the raffle is near the end of fragfest so if the winner wants I can also reimburse them for any purchase they made at the event with me.

That is a kicker too....does the raffle winner have to be present?  Meaning more people will be hanging around till the end?  I'm curious because I know we are limited to what 200 people and we have 50 coming as vendors from what I remember.
