**** DATE CHANGE ****

Due to several conflicts, the date for Fall Fest has been changed to Saturday, Nov 3rd.

Mark the new date on your calendars!!!

 

Heard there may be a killer speaker?

 

Who is all going?

 

Well that sucks. Now I can’t go on that date.

Sorry to hear that the changed date won't work for you. We weren't having much success finding vendors for the initial date, so it wouldn't have been much of a fest on the October date.

 

I suppose.

It’s just a bummer because they’re either in Des Moines or on dates when I’m unavailable.

Do we have a confirmed vendor list yet?

 

Yes, we have a number of confirmed vendors. I will be posting a list a bit later this week. Waiting for confirmation from a few.

 

Great news!

El Gringo Loco taco truck has agreed to serve us food at fall fest. I tried them out the other day and they are very very good. I had the tacos and I was pleasantly surprised to see that they are an authentic style street taco!!! My favorite!!!!

They will be parked outside of the event and will be serving from 11am-4pm so bring an appetite for good quality cooking.
Here is a menu of what they will be serving with prices.
They will also have pop and water for $1.00

 

Sounds good!

 

Here's a list of confirmed vendors. I expect we'll add another 3-4 vendors yet to the list.

Coral Vendors
AZNutty Corals
Reef Deep
Ocean Man Aquatics
Underwater Gardeners
Coral Addict
Insane Corals

Non-Coral Vendors
Booyahs
Mermaid's Cove

Hobbyists

It's shaping up to be a great event!
