First, I would like to thank everyone that came out for the 8th Michigan Coral Expo & Swap on Sunday. We had over 700 people attend the event this year!
While you mostly see me posting and probably see me scurrying around the event dealing with issues, the truth is MCES is a team effort. As such I would like to recognize the following people for helping with MCES:
From the Mid-Michigan Marine Club
Board of Directors
@MyNemesis (http://www.captivereefs.com/forum/members/mynemesis/)
@Sandman (http://www.captivereefs.com/forum/members/sandman/)
(I'm on the board too)

A special thanks to donnie lewis for helping out on setup night!
Thanks you to our Presenters: Rick Preuss and Joy Meadows.
On behalf of the club's I would like to thank the following businesses that donated to our raffle:
A&M Aquatics
Air, Water & Ice
Aquarium Currents
AquaUV
Booyahs Reef
Coral Frenzy
Detroit Coral Farms
Dr. Foster & Smith
Kessil
Pentair Aquatics
Preuss Pets
Reef Flo
Reef Nutrition
ReefBrite
ReefRocks.net
Rods Food
I would also like to thank the vendors that setup at MCES. Let's face it, without the awesome corals the swap wouldn't be very good. Each vendor also donated to the clubs' raffle. We truly appreciate you being part of our event.
Finally, I'd like to give a shout out to the Best Western Hotel and Conference Center. With only a couple exceptions, the staff there have been great to work with and extremely helpful. Their facility is a definite upgrade from our previous hall and works out well to accommodate our event.
If I missed someone in the lists above, please let me know so I can add them.
