Vendors/farmers at their shows are prescreened to meet quality standards. They are some of the best in the country. They are committed to bringing simply the best corals from around the world. Indeed, according to the Reefing USA website vendors must be at least 80% aquacultured coral to be approved as a vendor. Learn more on their website: ReefingUSA.com as well as see their fall schedule. And if you are a vendor interested in exhibiting, you can find details on how to submit an application. While the DC metro area has several great stores to shop at and support - many are club sponsors - given the opportunity for the club to host a raffle and get 100% proceeds to support the club, the officers determined this was a benefit for WAMAS members and hobbyists in the area. In addition, we hope that local stores and WAMAS sponsors who are not be an exhibitor at the coral show will nonetheless consider running weekend or day of show sale specials to help attract more out of town guests to the coral show and to their and the many local stores in the area. Likewise, because WAMAS brings in guests speakers for the quarterly meetings and works to promote and grow the hobby, show organizers are willing to work with WAMAS and permit the club to host a raffle. Reefing USA put on a coral show on March 24, 2024 with close to 300 people in attendance. Due to the shows success the show floor has been expanded. Reefing USA is brought to you by these additional sponsors: Blueline, Champion Lighting & Supply, Fritz, Reef Nutrition, Brightwell Aquatics, Carib Sea, Simplicity, Clear Choice Distribution, Eye Candy Coral, & Mermaid's Delight Food WAMAS Raffle Sponsors: cherry-logo.avif
