<p>Hi friends,</p>
<p> </p>
<p>State Fair opens in 3 weeks, with first-ever aquaponics exhibit. It's going to be great! Please let me know if you want to volunteer answering questions and helping out at the exhibit.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Looks like we'll have up to 6 different systems on display! Exhibit will be open 11 am to 10 pm Mondays through Thursdays, and 10 am to 10 pm Fri/Sat/Sun (same as rest of aquaculture exhibit and rest of The Farm). I doubt we'll be able to have a volunteer there…</p>
<p>Hi friends,</p>
<p> </p>
<p>State Fair opens in 3 weeks, with first-ever aquaponics exhibit. It's going to be great! Please let me know if you want to volunteer answering questions and helping out at the exhibit.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Looks like we'll have up to 6 different systems on display! Exhibit will be open 11 am to 10 pm Mondays through Thursdays, and 10 am to 10 pm Fri/Sat/Sun (same as rest of aquaculture exhibit and rest of The Farm). I doubt we'll be able to have a volunteer there for all of those hours, but the more of those hours we cover, the better. You would also do some ushering of people around the other fish on display (ie not just the ones in aquaponics systems). You can volunteer for as few or as many hours or days as you want. You will be required to fill out a State Fair Volunteer forms and a Megan's Law form to screen for registered sex offenders ahead of time.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>It's a great chance to learn more about aquaponics and aquaculture and to meet folks in both those areas, as well as to introduce the public to this field that we are so enthusiastic about. And, for the days you volunteer, you'll get a free pass to the fair and I believe free parking as well. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>If you are interested, please let me know (so far I've got yes's from Jane, Anne, Adam, Julia I think, and Justin; and a maybe from Will.). Let me know what days and times you're interested in, and/or in general how much time you might want to put in. The Fair runs Thursday, July 12 through Sunday, July 29. See bigfun.org for more details about the fair. Hope to hear from you soon. Thanks.</p>

<p>State Fair aquaponics exhibit is starting to come together. We're starting with one set-up; if we have time and energy to get more going before the July 12 start date, will do. The first set-up will have something like a half-dozen ZipGrow towers planted out in probably basil and who knows what else. We'll get the towers growing before the fair and then transport them to the fair and install them just before it begins, when the fish for the aquaculture exhibit arrive. Here's a shot of…</p>

We'll get the towers growing before the fair and then transport them to the fair and install them just before it begins, when the fish for the aquaculture exhibit arrive. Here's a shot of the towers (plus some extra for backup). Just got them hung and plumbed today. Will start running fish water through them tonite and plant them soon.</p>
<p></p>
<p>The exhibit is a joint effort of the California Aquaculture Association, the Aquaponics Association (including David Rosenstein from LA and myself), and the State Fair. Will certainly need volunteers during fair time and perhaps before and after.</p>
