RE: Question about a Public Show

[Kathy Olson <kathy@thekrib.com>]

Yes, I would be willing to enter fish.  I have in the past, and as you
know we did photos.

We are also willing to host categories and talked already with the GPAS
board members about hosting one for next year.

SO my anser to that is YES, YES, YES.

I was just thinking in terms of setting up tanks, labels, etc.....


Thanks for the clarification.  I forget that there are many levels of
support, and you know what we are already doing all of that...so why not
make some of it official and help out.  Great idea.  I think we could get
sponsorships and such, advertise it more here, etc.
