You beat me to posting it! Thanks for the post. Here is the info I have so far...

The E.O. Smith High School Coral project is proud to announce that it will be hosting the 9th annual New England Frag Farmer's Market at E.O. Smith High School in Storrs CT. It has grown into the biggest swap in the Northeast, bringing in 50+ coral "farmers" from all over the US. I have pretty much all the sellers from last year already signed up (including all the usual big guys) and a bunch of new ones as well. You get the best selection of corals and GREAT prices on frags for sure. All that and a great raffle as well.
I am also adding fragging demos during the day, given by an All-Star line up of fraggers, which should add to the event!
Admission is still only $5 for the day, with no advance tickets sold. The proceeds from the event go to support the coral propagation project I run at the school. I also started a scholarship last year and was able to give $500 to two graduating seniors who were going to pursue marine/conservation related fields- with hopes of being able to give more this year!
I do still have a few spots left if anyone is interested in setting up to sell for the day. It is a super low buy-in and low stress event- aimed at giving the hobbyists a chance to set-up and sell at a show next to the "big guys." Just get in touch soon as the spots will be full very soon!
I will post more details as things come together.
Thanks!
Jon

The list of sellers for this year is pretty much full. If any of the local people want to grab a spot, send me a PM soon so I can have a space for you. I want to make sure my local peeps get their spot.

You could. I just can't "announce it" yet because they are not quite ready to do so. I'll break some hearts and tell you that it isn't Joe.

I have the list but it is still evolving as the days go on. At this point I have just a few spots left, with a bunch of "I want to sell this year PM's/emails/texts" but I don't add people to the list till they are paid in. If everyone who says that they are selling pays, I'll have too many sellers for the spots that I have left. I will put out a preliminary list in a week or two, when I fill the last few spots officially. I try to get the list as "final" as I can before I start posting it. I just don't want to post, post again, and then have to post the list more... All of the big players are back this year with a few really nice new ones as well.

Here is the "preliminary list" of sellers for the FFM so far. I apologize for any of the names/locations that are not completely correct - feel free to shoot me a PM to fix if needed. This list does not include any of the "I want to sell but have not paid in people" If you think you should be on here and are not - please let me know! I do still have room for a few more, if anyone wants in but hustle - I have more people who have said they want to sell than I have spaces left...
Thanks-
Jon

I'll be there if there's any way that I can, but all I'm planning to bring is cash and my listening-ears. (>_<)

(My tank's gotten to the point where I really want to start popping corals off of frag plugs and gluing them to rocks ... but I'm not confident in my ability to do so without damage! Also, to the point where I'm considering adding a few SPS to the top of the reef.)

A little FFM nugget for the group...
Logan from Reefbreeders is donating one of the BRAND NEW Jaebo Gyre style pumps to the raffle. They are not in the US yet (I don't think...) and he will be one of the first to get his hands on them. This will be most people's first chance to see one, and someone's chance to take one home!



Thanks to Logan and Reefbreeders for hooking us up on this one!
