CAOAC's 50th Anniversary Convention - London, Ont. --- HI!!!

Hey all,

I actually don't have any snakes (the closest I ever had was kuhli loach :rofl:). But I did think this may be of interest to anyone who's a member here that lives close to London, Ontario, Canada.

Hopefully I'm posting this in the right spot (or maybe a mod can move this to where it should go).

This is mainly a fish convention, but there are 3 classes that are appropriate for people who would like to possibly show their rep/amphib at the convention.

27 Reptiles
28 Amphibians
29 Aquatic Animals

So, if you have any of the above, and would like to put them in a show, please think about coming to the convention. I don't think you have to be a convention attendee to show.

Also, I’m attaching a photo of the plaque that the North American Discus Association sent for the CAOAC’s discus class in the show. It’s a wonderful Blue Diamond discus on the award. I personally think it’s something to try for as an award at the show!
