Frag Farmer's Market 2014 !!!!

[BfishLpond78]

I really wish I wasn't selling at this thing again...lol.

I really love being on the opposite side of the table...and chatting with everyone...


Hey Jon...can we tailgate in the parking lot?!?!?! College style minus the adult sodas?!?!

 

[fitch4]

You are selling, you don't have to wait for the doors to open!

 

[suicideissleep]

What time does the doors open for vendors and also night before setup?

 

[fitch4]

Night before from 3 till 9 or so. The morning of, I'll be in around 7:30-8am. Doors open to the hordes at 11am.

 

[Pallobi]

Is there usually a line at 1045/11 when doors open to get in? Based on everyone's experience, when is the best time to show up as a guest? I'm a cherry picker, not a bargain shopper, lol.

 

[sweet d]

Is recommend getting there early.... I got there 20 min early last year and there was a long line already

 

[Pallobi]

Well, looks like I'm "tailgating" then, lol. Though I don't drink anymore so that excludes the fun part of tailgating haha! Just have to double up on the bean I suppose

Can we bring a Q'? Breakfast suasage for all??? Lol

Is there a decent B&B close by or hotel?

 

[fitch4]

I don't know about B+B, but there are two very close options for hotels. Down the road is a Best Western. It is cheap and a 5 minute drive down the road. Right next door is the Nathan Hale Inn. More expensive, much nicer and only a 5 minute walk from the school. If those two don't work, you can look into Manchester CT, which is a 10 minute ride and will have a few more options.

And if you're feeling crazy, i'm sure a frat house might take you in!

 

[phillrodrigo]

I dont think I was to early last year and I was about 20th or so in line. But it fills up quick.i didnt know anyome.last year knOw a few more this year so I was there for about a hour last time

 

[Pallobi]

I don't intend on staying all day or even a few hours, though im sure i'll come across some convo and company that will keep me, plus taking the time to look through most everyones stuff real closely. You have to be careful and observant at thing like this, reef bugs are out there. Everyone, make sure you dip and dip well as a precaution regardless of the source, there is a lot of things changing and tanks on a day like this! jus sayin

 

[fitch4]

If you are going to look at everyone's tanks carefully, both for coral and pests (which is a good idea), you will be here for a few hours... I'll post the new and slightly improved list in a bit.

 

[LeslieP]

Ok, so there is likely to be a line to get in at the beginning, but is there a limit to how many people are inside at once? I don't need to be the first one in, but I need to be back home by 3 so I can't stay late.

 

[fitch4]

I don't have a max in, nor do I really have a thought on how to count. It is in 10 rooms, not the 7 from last year so there is a bit more room. Come early, stay late...

 

[Pallobi]

I'll post the new and slightly improved list in a bit.

would love to see this

[Pallobi]

Thanks! Do u have a room map yet?

 

[alliecat]

Words can not express how thrilled I am for this... Last year was good seems like this year will be better..

 

[fitch4]

It will be bigger and more spread out than last year. Spread the word!

I have been getting boxes in the mail almost daily. I have some REALLY cool stuff in the raffle this year. I'm trying to get that list together as well.
