The August 2025 Picnic
The Greater Akron Aquarium Society Picnic and Fishy Exchange Will Be on Friday, August 8, 2025
The August 2025 GAAS meeting will be a party with our fish-head friends, no speaker or other real program. There will be an equipment raffle, but no bowl show. There will be no BAP/HAP auction in August, but if you’d like to turn in a spawn or plant, then that will be part of our “Fishy Exchange.” The “Exchange” is for fish hobby related items. Just bring in 1 bag (or two or more) of fish you’ve raised or have extra of, a new piece of equipment or decoration or some plants or live fish food and add it to the gift table, get a ticket and when your number is called take something else home! It’s that easy and fun, so we hope to see everyone there on Friday, August 8, 2025, at 8:00 pm.
We will be having a catered meal. We are asking for a $5 donation per person.
The location of the picnic will be the Main Shelter at Monroe Falls Metro Parks. Directions are provided below.
The December 2025 Party
GAAS Christmas Party Will Be Celebrated on Friday, December 12, 2025, at 8 pm at the Ritchie Memorial Shelter House in Tallmadge
The December meeting and Christmas dinner will take place on December 12th at 8:00 pm at the Ritchie Memorial Shelter House in Tallmadge. The Club is providing dinner, dessert, and beverages and everything for the meal. (Members can bring a dessert but this is optional.) The cost is $5 for each GAAS member. For non-members the cost is $15, which includes a GAAS membership. No RVSP is needed. Just show up!
The Club asks that GAAS members bring in a donated bag (or as many as you want to bring) of fish, plants, driftwood, only new decorations or equipment, fish food, or other hobby related items. These donated items will be offered as a gift exchange in our traditional manner. There will be no bowl show.
All BAP and HAP items turned in at the December 12, 2025, meeting will also be placed among the gift table items and will be applied to the 2026 BAP/HAP competition.
