It appears since the onset of Covid-19, frag swaps have been few and rare. Im starting to see a few listed throughout the US. In Wi, there is one coming up this weekend and I believe later this year in Green Bay, WI

Do you have one coming up in your area, and where would that be?

Post your known frags swaps forthcoming so others are aware of it and also may be a good opportunity to meet other members in your area.

If you have none in your area, what is it you miss most about attending these events?

For myself, seeing other reefers, the show specials, availability of dry goods and the reefing atmosphere

There's one this weekend in Joliet, IL I'm thinking about making the couple-hour drive to. Then there are two Iowa ones coming up in the next month or two that I will attend.

There seems to be a swap every month in Michigan. The next one is the big Lansing show! :beaming-face-with-smiling-eyes:

LEAR Frag Swap - February 24, 2024 ( I think) - Strongsville, OH area

INDMAS Frag Swap - March 9, 2024 - Western Ohio/Indianapolis area

NORE Fraggenstein Frag Swap - I don’t think 2024 has been announced but typically around September - Cleveland Area

CORA Frag Swap - I don’t think the 2024 dates been announced yet but usually late in the year (October/November) - Columbus Area

Ohio Reef Club Frag Swap - I don’t think 2024 has been announced yet but usually September - Dayton Area

That’s all I’m aware of. I know @CherryCorals
I think had one last year here in Ohio but can’t recall the name or dates

I need to look into that. There was one that happened over in Indy just after I jumped back into reefing last year. I didn't hear about it until the week after :( That was last year this time...

Edit: I looked it up...
INDMAS 2024 frag swap on March 9th in Indianapolis.

Not knowing exactly where you are, you're probably still close enough to hit Aquashella in Chicago.

Being in Bham, we get one or two shows a year here, which feels like a solid number for a town of our size. What gets me is that Atlanta doesn't have a larger show yet other than the club's swap. They tried to get some Mini-MACNA thing off the ground a couple years ago but I don't think it worked out like they thought it would.

Not one that I am aware of in the Raleigh, NC area...it would be nice though.
Not technically a frag swap, but the closest thing I know of is probably The Reef Farm open house they do twice a year now. Next one is February 17th. It's near Wake Forest.
