OK guys, this will be the last (hopfully) major post on the forum. Please feel free to comment or question here as this is where I will be checking for feed back. All major posting will be made on our web side
http://http://www.natureaquariumsocietyofhouston.org/ (should be on the website within a day or two)
All registrations can be made on our website or linked by our web site. following will be the main jest though. It is a redefined version of what Paul had listed when he started the thread with more info.
April Plant Fest
Time line and schedule:
Date: April 9 to April 12
Thursday: Welcome Visitors and have a meet and greet @ Houston Aquarium Warehouse (HAW). Visitors please note, Dan @ HAW will have fish and plants in stock and is well versed in shipping orders across the country. If you have any suggestions on stocking please let me know and I will pass it on to see if he can get it.
Friday: San Marcos Field Trip. Note, field trip will require a $15 per person registration fee only to cover the cost of rental vehicle and gas. Early morning wake up for travel from Houston to San Marcos. At San Marcos we will have the opportunity to tour the Aquarena Center that is located at San Marcos Lake, and then move downstream on the river to do some plant collecting and great nature photo opportunities. And if we are lucky find the crypt that is growing in the San Marcos River. Bring your swim suit, although it is only March, the water spring fed and should be tolerable, ok cool…well not polar bear conditions. Also, if significant others who are not into the collection trip are in attendance, there will be plenty of shopping opportunities so this will not be a one-sided trip for them.
Upon return to Houston, we will have a chance to tour and have a cocktail party at Fish Gallery (another Houston LFS).
Saturday: Tour of Aquarium Design Group (ADG) followed by a presentation by Mike Senske. Following the tour and presentation, we will depart for a BBQ dinner at one of the NASH member’s house near Lake Houston. Menu will consist of Texas BBQ both beef and pork (please notify me of food restrictions). If there is time (and I am sure we will make time) we will try to do some plant collecting around Houston as we make our way to the BBQ dinner.
Sunday: Everyone goes home, hopefully happy and satisfied
Lodging:
Crown Plaza (Greenway Plaza location)
Registration for hotel can be linked from the NASH web site.
Location 2712 SOUTHWEST FREEWAY
HOUSTON, TX 77098 UNITED STATES
Note the hotel is in walking distance of Fish Gallery.
Registration:
In this event, we sincerely ask visitors to pay a registration fee of $15 per person and this is to help us cover the rental fee of vans and other amenities. The registration fee is only for the field trip. For the most part, though, the activities and events will be pretty much supported and covered by NASH and it’s sponsors. Payment for registration can be made through the NASH web site.
Attendees must have field trip registration paid by March 15.
Also, please note that the BBQ is open for attendees who have paid for the field trip and for NASH members only.
Contact:
If you have any questions, please feel free to direct them to any of NASH officers: Kevin (kwc1974), Luis (Navvaro), Thanh (TNguyen), and Paul (Paul Higashikawa) by means of PM or e-mail.
