June 6-8, 2014 the Tropical Fish Club of Burlington will celebrate its 25th Anniversary with a convention and tropical fish auction at the Holiday Inn in So. Burlington. The public is welcome and encouraged to attend. The Saturday events, including six seminars, a buffet lunch and dinner cruise on the Spirit of Ethan Allen are available for a minimal charge, with TFCB picking up all non-food related costs. The Sunday Auction is free! This is an educational and social event open to everyone.
Registration opens at 8am Saturday June 7th. The seminar topics will range from “Successfully Maintaining Tropical Fish,” to Catfish, Nano tanks, Freshwater Shrimp, Filtration and other related programs. Walk-ins Saturday morning are accepted, but preregistration by May 26 is strongly encouraged and is required to attend the dinner cruise. The Holiday Inn is located on Williston Rd. next to the I-89 North entrance ramp, just across from Dorset St.
For the Auction, the doors will open at 9:30 am Sunday June 8 for bidder registration, delivery of auction lots, and a preview of the exotic fish and aquatic plants up for bid at the Auction. The auction starts promptly at noon and will conclude at 5:00 pm. The proceeds from the auction benefit the club’s public speaker program, education programs for local aquarists and for those new to the hobby.
Tropical fish breeders and enthusiasts from clubs in Vermont, New Hampshire, New York, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Connecticut and Canada will be represented at the auction. It is anticipated that there will be well over 500 exotic fish up for bid. Most of the fish to be offered for auction have been bred and raised by the members of local fish clubs and represent species not readily available in local pet shops. The auction also includes aquatic plants, fish food, new and used aquariums, heaters, filters, and books. Most of the dry goods are donated by aquarium equipment manufacturers specifically for this event. Throughout the afternoon door prizes will be awarded to those in attendance.
