29	50th Anniversary Chicago Killie Show Scott Davis 708-747-5913	IL	USA	The Chicago killie group is holding their 50th anniversary killifish show this weekend, March 29 - 30, 2008. The featured speaker will be Jaap-Jan de Greef, just back from the Peruvian Amazon. Jaap-Jan, who may be even better known to live-bearer and cichlid enthusiasts, will give a couple of presentations Saturday about collecting killies and we will try a Q&A session Sunday while the auction is being set up. Also in addition to the box sales of killies Saturday morning and early afternoon and the 11 AM Sunday auction, a plant vendor will set up on Saturday. And we will also have a live food table, where starters may be picked up inexpensively. The plant guy (Cory from http://bayleesfishees.com) will arrange a plant sale table. He was at a show sponsored by the Michiana club about a month ago and everyone was quite impressed by the quality of his stock. Since it is a killie show, he was asked to emphasize low and moderate light plants. The Sunday auction time is designed to let guests from down state and several other states leave for home in a timely manner, probably by 1 or 2 in the afternoon. Auction splits for anyone who brings killies, plants, live food cultures or aquarium gear are 70% to the seller. We are also importing a box of quite rare killies from Netherlands. Some of them you may only have seen in the books. It is an open show. If anyone has a pair of killies or a big old stud and would like to see how they would do in a competition, the entry fee of a dollar is pretty nominal and has been the same for three decades. Small tanks and treated water are provided. One can bring their own water if they prefer. The weather will be cool to unpleasant this weekend. It should be pretty nice inside the Downers Grove Holiday Inn Express, on Butterfield, just east of I-355. Saturdays and weekends can be amazingly busy, but it would be great to meet some of you.	2008-03-25 13:23:13
