2014 FFM If any wants to go

[cullyisgully]

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 expanding 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

Thanks for the post, here is the image to go with it!
The FFM is getting crazy this year with the people who will be there and the number of corals that will be for sale. If you are looking to stock a tank, pick up a few choice pieces, whatever, you can do it here.
Let me know if you guys have any questions!

If I don't want or have anything to sell and just want to look around and buy I just show up right?

Sweet. May have to take the trip.

Thanks Doc for fielding the question. With so many threads out there, I sometimes miss a question or two. Just $1 to get it (which is really just a new way for me to get a count of how many come for the day- I'm going to chuck most of it back into the raffle in the form of FFM gift certificates to raffle off all day long). No advanced tickets needed, just make the trip out!
As of a few days before X=mas, the FFM seller spots are all full. The market will top out at a whopping 50 coral sellers this year, ranging from a number of small scale hobbyists to a few bigger names in the "local" coral business. There will also be a number of "dry goods" vendors in the hallways this year as well. It will definitely be the biggest FFM yet, and certainly worth taking a ride out to check out. I am still working to clean up the list so that I can post it up here. I'll get that up in a little bit!

There are a few names that I know on that list.

I'm actually thinking about taking off that day to attend!!

 

[fitch4]

Love to have you up for the day Doc. The cool part is always the ones you don't know. Every year I end up finding something in some hobbyists tank that I have never seen before. It is a great chance to bring together the stuff from so many clubs in the area and just walk from room to room and see it all!

I just got an update on another sale that John from Affordable Aquatics will be running for the FFM (see the Announcements thread for the previous one - http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/sh...2350892&page=2 ) . Here is the info he gave me:

We are going to offer a 20% discount on all frozen or live foods pre-ordered.

Use coupon code "FFMFrozen" at checkout for this offer.

I will be selling a large variety of frozen and live fish foods at the FFM. Due to freezer space limitations on site, we strongly suggest that you pre-order your food now so that you are guaranteed its availability at the show. In fact if you pre-order your food, your order will be packaged individually, on ice, in coolers or thermal bags to make it easy to take home.

We will have the best frozen products from:

Rod's food
Hikari
Piscine Energetics
Pro Salt
Ocean Nutrition
San Francisco Bay Brand

We also have the entire line of Reef Nutrition fresh and live foods including LIVE Tigger Pods, Live Phyto, and Oyster Eggs etc.
Because of their fragile handling requirements, it is strongly suggested that you pre-order these items as well.

This offer is available only those attending the Frag Farmer's Market. Please order early to guarantee your order's availability.
