The Cash Sales table will be open Friday from noon til 5pm, and on Saturday from noon until the auction ends. We will display bagged fish for show
attendees to purchase for the price marked on the bag. This will be in addition to the auction. Breeders can send as many fish as they wish for the Cash Sales table.
Please note your selling price. Please clearly mark Cash Sales fish and price on your registration form, or you may send a separate sheet
noting price (please number your bags) and price the fish directly on the bag. Be sure to include return postage for unsold Cash Sales table fish;
any unused portion will be refunded. If return postage is not included, the fish will be considered donations to the club and not returned. Minimum price for Cash Sales = $1.
