Meet passionate hobbyists: Two hobbyist clubs, the Cichlid Club of York (CCY) and Aquarium Club of Lancaster County (ACLC), are producing and attending this event; in addition, hobbyists come from as far away as Canada.
The Keystone Clash is an annual event now in its 10th year (11th year if you count when it was called Clash of the Cichlids in '14 and '15). It has been a collaborative effort between the ACLC and CCY clubs. Established to play on the friendly rivalry between these two sister clubs, the Clash allows and encourages hobbyists of all skill and experience to learn more about the hobby that they love and show off their own Aquatic adventures.
On top of providing a one of a kind experience for Hobbyists, the Keystone Clash functions as the main fundraiser for both the CCY and the ACLC and for their charitable works for the year. As Not-For-Profit organizations, be assured that all revenue generated by these events goes toward advancement of the aquatic hobby, aquatic sciences or other Charitable works.
