Nikki -
The Mountain West Reef Fest is similar to events like MACNA. This will be the 3rd year for the MWRF. The 2010 MWRF was huge - in the amount of vendors and vendor giveaways, the displays, the attendance, the raffle was enormous (I am told it "blew MACNA's away!") and I would expect this year's MWRF to be as big or even bigger - and better!
You can find out all the info here:
And here is the wrap up on last years MWRF Event:
