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...

 

[mtc1966]

working this year . first year missing since I have known of it. really bummed

 

[fitch4]

I just got a note that Logan from Reefbreeders will be offering a few specials for the FFM this year.

First, he is throwing a Superlux LED fixture into the raffle, to go with the dosing pump he was already putting in. He is also offering:
$20 off all Jaebo pumps, at the FFM only. He NEVER discounts them.
$40 off all Photon Units, again only at the FFM.

 

[Re3f_Adict]

I can't wait for this

 

[fitch4]

Ben at Building an Obsession is donating a very cool frag transport rack into the raffle. It is a step more than a "typical" rack, with plastic "locks" for the plugs so you can ensure their safety for your trip in/out. He is also sending out a few racks that can be mounted in your own transport containers, which I will have for sale that day. Lastly, he is offering FFM people a 15% discount off any orders from his site using the code : DR8UZWY
Thanks Ben!

 

[GobyApparatus]

Heya. It's Jeromy from Shoreline Pet & Aquarium. IF you see me please stop and introduce yourself. The store is coming along but the snow has certainly slowed everything down. I plan on opening mid to late April. I also will be donating to the raffle even though I'm not open.

See you tomorrow!

 

[SteelerMike]

Anyone know what time sellers can get in to set up Saturday morning?

 

[drsalomon]

It is 8 am

 

[SteelerMike]

It is 8 am

Thanks!

 

[Mike in CT]

Does anyone know if any venders will be bringing any LRS food to the FFM to sell?

 

[fitch4]

I am not aware of any but I never know till they get here

 

[mtc1966]

well I decided to take half day off tomorrow so will be making it. usually a early birder will be arriving late this time maybe get some end of day deals

Ahhhh you came to your senses! Lol
I'm working a 1/2 day myself... More money for corals. I have always found very good deals closer to the end. A lot of venders don't want to go to the hassle of transporting livestock home , so they are willing to deal!

 

[fitch4]

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!
