Mitch_ScruffyCityAquatics Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 Hello fellow Tennesseans, and those who live close by! I know I’ve seen quite a few of us around the forum over the years, and I thought a thread providing info on hobby related events could help connect us. Feel free to post about your club meetings, swaps, or anything else connected to our hobby. The East Tennessee Aquatic Association will be hosting our second swap of the year on Saturday October 8th from 9 am to 2 pm. The location is just north of Knoxville in Fountain City. This promises to be our largest event of the year. We have close to 20 tables reserved. Some of the tables will have livestock, some plants, equipment, possibly tanks, hardscape, art, and more! It is $2 at the door to get in. We are trying to put together a silent auction to support the club’s endeavors for next year. If you are interested in a table they are $20 for a whole and $10 for a half table. We recently reworked our floor plan and have a few spots left. Our Spring swap was our first event and we had over 90 people come through. It’s a great way to connect and to find stuff for your latest tank. I hope to see you there! https://facebook.com/events/s/etaa-fall-fish-swap/721169799076927/ I also wanted to invite you to join us in November for our last regular meeting of 2022. The presentation will be on DIY projects for the hobbyist. In December we plan on having a shorter meeting followed by a social event. The ETAA is growing, we hope you will join us for some fishy shenanigans. https://facebook.com/events/s/east-tennessee-aquatic-associa/1174852333094337/ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want to follow the club on Facebook there will be a thread later this week asking people to post what they plan on bringing. I could probably be more helpful if I knew what you were interested in. Also, I don’t remember if we discussed it or not, but middle TN’s new club will be hosting their first meeting this weekend. It’s the Music City Aquarium Society. My co-host Tanner is one of the people who have been working on it. He was instrumental in the success of the ETAA. He had been traveling to KTown, but wanted to create a similar experience in the Nashville area. https://fb.me/e/2jxeIO7GZ Edited September 27, 2022 by Mitch_ScruffyCityAquatics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mitch_ScruffyCityAquatics Posted October 5, 2022 Author Share Posted October 5, 2022 (edited) I hear the Music City Aquarium Society had a great first meeting this past weekend! If you didn’t make it out I hope you put it on your calendar for Nov 5th. You can check out their Facebook group here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/469068847977778/?ref=share if you are closer to east TN the East Tennessee Aquatic Association will hold it’s Nov meeting on the same day. We normally meet on the second Saturday, but there is a UT football game that day and we can’t use the mansion that day. Here is our group on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/easttennesseeaquaticassociation/?ref=share If you aren’t going to Aquashella or Fishtober Fest THIS weekend (October 8th) you should join us at our Fall Fish Swap. We have over 20 tables booked with freshwater fish, saltwater fish, corals, freshwater plants, freshwater shrimp, used fresh/saltwater equipment, aquarium decor, houseplants, and more! I hope to see you there! https://facebook.com/events/s/etaa-fall-fish-swap/721169799076927/ Edited October 5, 2022 by Mitch_ScruffyCityAquatics Added missing link 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
