2015 Frag Farmer's Market

[RTMA]

Hey guys, I am posting this for Jon @ CT Frag Farmers. This looks be another great Frag Market again this year. Jon does a superb job and certainly worth a visit! - Thanks, Joe

From Jon:

I have quite a list of sellers already signed up and some room for new people as well. Pretty much all the major players will be there again this year, and a few pretty exciting new ones! As usual, I would love to add more hobbyists to the list, but let me know soon so I can save a space for you to sell.

I also wanted to mention the admission fee. Based on the # of people who came out last year (800+), I was asked to pay to use the school's space for this year's FFM. I very reluctantly decided that I had to raise the admission fee. I chose $5, and am planning to increase the number of FFM gift certificates that I give away as door prizes and in the raffle. I am also going to use some of the $ collected at the door to start a scholarship for college bound seniors planning to study biology. I am not sure what the scholarship looks like yet, but I promise that the $ will go to a good cause!

As in previous years, please let me know if you have questions or need any information on this year's FFM!

Thanks-
Jon

Time to start talking raffle and giveaways....
I just sat down and tallied up all the FFM gift certificates for this year and I am throwing in over $700 in Frag Farmers Market gift certificates this year. They will be given away and raffled through out the day and can be used at ANY of the vendors during the day.
That does not include the 1000's of dollars in other gift certificates, merchandise and livestock in the raffle. More info to come...

Hey guys, I will be @ the FFM hocking the SPS wares also. I'm not bringing a lot, but some of my more choice pieces. Since I will be doing double duty as the president of ARKSC, you can find me and my tank @ the ARKSC table. Sniper2be (Matt) will be there to help and selling some of his superb ware (montis, sps and some real sweet blastos too)

ReefReady Grape Juice | Paletta Blue Polyp | Grape Limade | FHI Cali Tort | Red Dragons as well as a bunch of others.. Only have a few of each.

Stop by and introduce yourself and say hello.

I'll also have chalice frags -
Cornbread 3G Mummy Eye
Cornbread CottonCandy
Fox My Miami
I'll be letting them go at some great prices. Chat me up!

I just got back from the school (okay, I might have slept for a few hours...) and about 1/2 the people came to set-up last night. I have to say that the stuff people brought this year, compared to previous years, is amazing. Just walking around, I saw quite a few things that I had never seen before. The only problem that I had was that I was too busy to cherry pick anything before the FFM got going! Seriously, I am positive that this will be the biggest and best FFM yet, with more set-ups, and just about all of the local clubs there to promote their events and club. Do me one last favor and tell someone about the event this morning, or just stop by their house and grab them on your way out. When you are at the FFM today, stop by and introduce yourself. I love to meet all the people that are just as crazy as I am!
