It's a 4.5 hr drive for me to get to Pittsburg. I drive a lot longer than that to attend things I've got a lot less interest in. Put my name is a an attendee. Not sure about the lovely wife, but I would like to get together with some other pond enthusiasts. I'd at least like to hear how loud an aerator is. Since noise is one of the reasons I've decided against it.
Thanks for even considering this.

9 yr old pond, 1 ac, 15' deep.
RES, YP, GS, FHM (no longer), HBG (going away), SMB, and HSB (only one seen in 5 yrs) Restocked HSB (2020) Have seen one of these.
I think that's about all I should put in my little pond.
