Frag Farmer's Market 2014 !!!!

fitch4 · 11/18/2013, 08:16 AM

Here it is, the 2014 FFM announcement. I have a bunch of the old sellers already signed up and a few new ones have already contacted me to get in on the FFM. As usual the event will be at the school and similar to previous years. The raffle gets bigger each year and I will be doing more of the Frag Farmer Gift Certificates as part of the raffle. I'm hoping to do them every 1/2 hour this year! I do have a few other new tricks to make this year better than last. I am looking into explanding into more rooms to make more room for more sellers and spread out the tables we have per room.
I am also looking to get more of our local farmer's to set-up tanks and sell their stuff. The set-up fee is low and the set-up is very informal to make it so that the little guy, or girl, can set up a tank and sell their corals next to some of the bigger stores. The whole idea behind the FFM was to give you guys a chance to sell your stuff no matter how small your set-up is. We had over 500 people come last year, and that was with a blizzard the day before, so I am looking forward to even more this year. If you are interested, shoot me a PM and I can give you details.
Lastly, if you guys could do me a favor and SPREAD THE WORD. I don't really advertise the event but rather rely on word of mouth to let people know about it. I'll be posting it in most of the local boards in the next few days and getting word out that way, but feel free to post it anywhere you don't see it. Just check and make sure the club, or group, is cool with you posting the info first.
I'll post updates as we get closer to the date.
Let me know if you have questions-
Jon

Im gona start saving now- i might have to take the equity out of my Kenya tree

fitch4 · 11/18/2013, 04:22 PM

The good news is that the $1 entry fee is really just a way to help us get a better count on how many people come. I was thinking about just throwing it back into the FFM by giving out more FFM certificates.

Keep them and buy yourself a well deserved beer or 2

Masedaddy · 11/18/2013, 07:21 PM

I have never been to a FFM before... From what I hear it is amazing. I have put it on my calendar and the wife has agreed!

So I am waiting as patiently as any Reefer can....

I wish it was March already!!!
