My local California Betta Society hosted the 2014 Internatoinal Betta Society Convention several weekends ago, and wow! I think it was a complete success! Sorry for the delay - I had to recover from the excitement, as well as attend a wedding, so compiling all the pictures has taken a while!
Convention is wonderful in so many ways. It is the culmination of the show year, and many breeders send their best fish to this last show in order to make room for next year. There are seminars, workshops, stock shops, silent auctions, live auction...but the best thing to me is getting to talk with some of my dearest Betta friends. We are spread far and wide, but we are by far the best fish keepers (in my humble opinion...please don't eat me cichlid people!). I wish I could see my friends all the time, but then Convention would not be as special. What a whirlwind!
