Frag Farmer's Market 2013!!!
 

Something we should try to attend!

http://i557.photobucket.com/albums/s...M2013Small.jpg

As usual, admission is free for anyone/everyone to go, so bring a friend. I am again relying on word of mouth and the various forums to spread the word about the event so feel free to chat it up when you see people in stores, etc... If you know of a forum that it would be helpful to post in, let me know and I will try to get the info in it. Spread the word!!!

I am going to expand the event into another room this year to make space for more hobbyists who want to sell, and to try to spread the crowds out a bit (remember the masses from last year?). I already have a few of the big names signed up and one or two new ones who look to be coming as well to sell their "crop." I will post updates as things develop between now and then. If you want to set-up this year and make a few $, let me know. The set-up is only $30 and for that I will give you a space, outlets, heated water (if you need it), and a few hundred people to shop your homegrown stuff. Let me know sooner rather than later because space fills up quickly! You can contact me via PM or via email. Thanks!

This sounds awesome!!! I'd love to attend, but would need a driver. Yes, I'm a coward! Highways make me very nervous.lol

Sounds good. I'm putting it on my calendar.

Alan from Reefs Creation and Anthony27 set up last yr and said it was really good!
So I may be in.. Let's see.

Yeah they had alot of good vendors last year and puppy center was there selling 30$ deressa clams :0 lol good times if any one wants to go I am going to be leaving from my house that morning with Cully, probly around 8 am yeahhh that is really early ;/

You doing a table this year?? you got those frags you promised me??

So you are alife!:fun2:

I have had them cut for a month already jarret but if you are so concerned you have a phone, so call.

Awildia yes I am.

Oh, this sounds cool.
Is this the HS that has a marine bio major and they set up coral tanks to grow and sell to the public as a fund raiser?

Awi, if I go you can come with me. I'll have to check some things.

Yeah he has a huge tank and a insane grow out tank.

Thank you William.:)

Here is an update on the FFM this year for my NY brothers and sisters:
As of this morning I have 32 vendors signed up, all selling corals and aquacultured stock. It is about a 50/50 mix between the commercial and hobbyist, which is awesome for the buyer because you get the mix of selection and price! The bigger names include: Puppy Center (CT), Jason Fox, Greg Hiller, Exotic Fish and Coral (CT), Reef Creations (NYC), some Anthony guy... and many more. As in past years, the admission is free, I have a great raffle set-up (benefitting the school's coral project), and more corals than you will know what to do with!
I will release the entire list of sellers as the date gets closer--- March 9th 11am till 5pm!

Can't wait... I'll be there!! Anyone else from the club going??

I hope to be going.;) Just need a ride... :spin3:

I'm going to try to make it

Here is the long awaited FFM list! I am more or less full (I can make room for one or two more if I need to...). My appologies to everyone whose name I messed up somehow (or location is incorrect). I am putting together the raffle list this week sometime and will release that info as well. See you all there!

Hi William, will you be attending? Need to know.;)

Here is the preliminary list for the raffle for the FFM so far. This represents only the items that I have in my hands at this time or have confirmation that they are coming. There is a somewhat large list of items that are coming in the mail still or I have yet to confirm. I will post updates in the next few days as wel get closer!

Frist off thank you to CaribSea for providing a massive amount of water for this year's FFM. I will still be mixing water to make up the few gallons I will still need but they really have supported the FFM and my project from the start and I owe them big time! They may also have sent up a bit of Purple-up. Come early it disappears FAST!!!

Also thanks to SeaChem for offering to provide Reef Dip for people to take home and use for the frags that they pick up. I will have a number of "vials" of it available that day. Grab one and be safe!
