Frag Farmer's Market 2013!!!

fitch4 · 12/06/2012, 12:28 PM

I have been working on getting this out for a few weeks now and here it is!

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!
Jon

You guys will have to FB this one for me. I am pretty much the only one in the world without a FB page. If anyone wants the image to post, just let me know and I will send it along. Thanks!

shecter · 12/06/2012, 01:54 PM

Can't wait! Are flyers for our LFS's something we can do? If so I'd be happy to print a bunch out and bring them in to Go Fish. I'd be willing to make trips to our other semi-local shops as well unless somebody closer wants to handle it.

littleguy210 · 12/06/2012, 02:37 PM

What a great event!

MikeinCT · 12/06/2012, 05:22 PM

What will you guys be looking for at this event? I am looking for a tank showpiece!

Nuagedesigns · 12/06/2012, 06:54 PM
