Wont know until the event comes closer.

Last year we had clubs from Redding (5 hour drive), sacramento (2 hour drive), stockton (2 hour drive) and fresno (4 hour drive) come allllll the way up here to swap frags with us. Pretty damn impressive in my opinion.
 
I'm going to try and frag my Cornbread Flaming Bugatti Chalice. Should have 2 eyes. Maybe a few other nice sps and some zoas. Red Hornets, maybe some purples. Rainbow rhino if I can. Pink zippers, Blondies etc. some montis too.

Newbie question - I do not have frags yet, as I am totally new to the hobby. Do people sell/give away frags at this event, and are there other reasons to come to a frag swap, other than to meet like-minded hobbyists in the area?

Thanks!

Hey yes I agree it's 100% worth coming. It's really fun and a great easy to meet people in the hobby make friends and get a lot of info. And Iv always come home with more then 3 frags. Frag swaps are great just beware of pests that may come on the frag. I'm trying to go to the swag as well and I'll donate u three frags so u can participate. I need to start geting ride of stuff I don't care for. I'm kind of a coral hoarder my girlfriend says it's a problem.

Definitely going to try to go to this, baby is a little less cranky... well except when he's really tired. So hopefully he come with and enjoy the day with the BAR members, or mom can stay at home. Although it means for a second straight frag swap I won't be on frag patrol :( (I feel like I lost my job!)

Don't have much anymore, but a few zoanthids/palys and some rhodactis
