Ladies and Gentlemen of the Pacific Northwest.
We are humbled by the collective drive and initiative displayed by all of you over the past few months.
We must apologize to those who put so much time and effort into this venture, neither knowing nor guaranteeing a positive outcome for the fruits of their labor.
While we tried our best to sell the SEAMAX idea to our loyal following of exhibitors, too much damaging evidence was brought to light.
Most were concerns about smaller attendance figures, lighter demographics, worsening economy, and overall costliness of traveling all the way to the Northwest corner of the country.
I must admit that I concur with these concerns and thus am personally torn with emotion in having to bring you this message this evening.
I wish things could have been different, but as with most other life experiences, we must roll with the punches and accept what is given us.
This endeavor is certainly no exception to the rule.
So without dragging this on any further let me just say this:
:badgrin::razz:
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, WE ARE PROUD TO ANNOUNCE:
THE MARINE AQUARIUM EXPO IS COMING TO THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST!!!
“SEAMAX” will take place July 23-24, 2011 at the “Seattle Center” 305 Harrison St., Seattle, WA in the main Exhibit Hall.
Seattle Center is a cultural park that hosts the site of the famous Space Needle, International Fountain, performances by internationally acclaimed theater, ballet, and opera companies.
Seattle’s best hotels, shopping and restaurants are located just
steps away in the Queen Anne neighborhood or accessed by a two-minute ride downtown on the iconic Seattle Center Monorail.
SeaTac International Airport is only 18 miles away and can be accessed by car, taxi/shuttle, and other public transportation.
SEAMAX will host over 50 different exhibitors comprising of Manufacturers, Distributors, Retailers, and hobbyist sellers in a 20,000 sq. ft. section of the Seattle Center’s main Exhibit Hall.
SEAMAX will also include the famous Children’s FinZone, complete with 8-foot Children’s Touch Tank, Drawings, Games, and other forms of entertainment.
For the adults, a HUGE Grand Raffle will take place during the last hour of both exhibit days, distributing literally thousands of dollars worth of donated goods and livestock from our generous exhibitors and sponsors.
Plenty of great food and beverages will also be available from the Seattle Center’s many restaurants and food catering facilities on the property.
Hours are: Saturday July 23 and Sunday July 24, 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM
Admission is: only $25 per Adult, $15 per Senior or Military personnel, and ABSOLUTELY FREE for all kids age 12-years or younger!
Exhibit Booths: will be only $750 per 10’x10’ booth including all pipe-and-drape, 6-foot table, fitted table cloths, and two chairs per booth. Electricity is a $50 per vendor total.
Exhibitor Setup: is set for Friday, July 22, 2011 from 12:00 Noon to 8:00 PM.
Saltwater will be provided by a local vendor (to be determined)
We will add more information as it comes available to us.
THANK YOU again to everyone who helped make this event possible.
