Hi Whoeveryouare,
It will probably be the Columbus Day holiday weekend, as in the last three years. This is October 6 & 7th, I think.

> Conus expert Dr Baldomero Olivera. This will be followed by the banquet,
> held again this year in the Academy's Dinosaur Hall.
> Banquet admission is by advance ticket only, and tickets are going fast,
> so if you are planning on attending now is the time to get yours. At the
> same time, why not also enter the Shell-themed Dessert Contest? Last year
