FYI, at yesterday's Northwest Killies meeting, we decided once again to host 
the annual west coast killi show, West Coast Weekend, from April 27-29th at the 
Silver Cloud Inn near the portland airport. If you've never been to a fish 
show, or a killi show, it's driving distance from here and well worth it. There 
will be international speakers, a fish raffle on Saturday and big fish auction 
on Sunday.
 
In addition, I learned that there will be the annual convention of the American 
Livebearers Association the preceding weekend, April 20-22 at the Hilton 
Vancouver, Washington, also easily within driving distance. I plan to attend 
some of this convention as well -it's extremely unusual for there to be two big 
fish shows in our area. Details can be found at

Finally, a little further down the line, the annual convention of the American 
Cichlid Association will take place in July, from Jul 19th to 22d, in 
Sacramento California. Details can be found at 
http://www.cichlid.org/ACA2007Convention.html. It's a little far, but within 
one day's carpool driving distance, and is usually quite the show plus a great 
opportunity to acquire cichlids, both via private sales and through what is 
ordinarily the biggest fish auction at a national event each year.
 
So, mark your calendars. It's going to be a good year for fish shows this year 
on the west coast.
