Summer Fish Show and Summer Auction Canceled
After careful consideration, GAAS has decided to cancel the 2021 Ultra-Aqua Annual Fish Show and the Summer Auction. Because of continued uncertainty surrounding the availability to gather together, and because of uncertainty surrounding the ability to rent the Tallmadge Community Center, the 2021 Ultra-Aqua Annual Fish Show and the Summer Auction will be canceled.
