Michi's talk is open ended. He will cover his collecting in Mexico and research with the mollies. On Saturday morning he will host a workshop on "Fish Chum", a database of info to be shared by scientists and hobbyists.

The vendor area, fish show, Sales room and Sunday Auction will be open to everyone. You will have to pay to attend talks or the workshops.

There is info on the convention website www.ala2011.com and the convention Face Book page.

Some how the fee info got lost. Entries are $1.50 each.

St Louis put in one bid which is a lot different than tons.

The ALA convention is a lot smaller than AKA and ACA. The bid that was submitted would have been more in line with the larger type convention. The hotel would have penalized ALA severely if they fell short in room rentals or revenues. The Detroit bid was more in line with the size of the convention.

Wesbsite will be www.ALA2011.com
