CT Frag Farmer's Market - Storrs CT 3/7/20

[fitch4]

It's back!​

I just wanted to invite all my BRS brothers and sisters out to the biggest single day swap in the country - and just a short drive for you guys! The 13th annual Frag Farmer's Market will be held this coming March 7th at E.O. Smith High School in Storrs CT. Doors will open at 10am this year to give you an extra hour of coral madness! With over 100 vendors - including many of the big names, great local hobbyists and some exciting new faces for this year, who we never see in the northeast. You will not find a better selection of corals at any other show, and the set-up fee is so low for sellers, the prices for you end up better than at the other big shows. Plus admission is just $5 to get in. All that and a HUGE raffle, that already looks like it will have bigger stuff than last year! It is tough to describe the FFM, people who have been may better be able to describe it to you- feel free to chime in. I'll post more info in the coming weeks as the details for this year's FFM comes together. Hope to see you all at the FFM.

I am looking to expand the dry goods companies that are at the FFM, so I have space for more "dry goods" companies, if any of the local companies are interested in coming up for the day. The price for a table is too good to pass up! Shoot me a PM if you are interested!

Hope to see you all up at the Frag Farmer's Market this year!
-Jon

*Thanks to Tim and the other BRS officers for letting me post the info here and supporting the FFM!

I cannot wait! If you have only been to small show or meetings FFM is a trip for any and all hobbiest. From the local clubs and E.O. Smith tank to crazy high end pieces at competitive prices! FFM should be cleared on your calendars now so you don't have any excuses!

I look forward to this every year. Has never disappointed.

This was my first experience at a Frag swap! Was a little overwhelming but so awesome! Great vendors, people and just overall awesome. Looking forward to it...

Make sure to bring a cooler guys you will definitely find something you will like at this show and at amazing deals.

 

[fitch4]

We even do a "Cooler Check Station" where you can check your coolers like a coat (you get a ticket for your cooler) and then you don't have to carry it around all day. Any time you need it, just stop by and they will grab your cooler so you can fill it up and go back to shopping. Best part? Its free!

Enjoy all who attend. I have been several times and it was the best show in the northeast aside of Reef-a-palooza when it was in NY. I wont be able to get there this year as I broke my leg on Sunday.

 

[fitch4]

Thats awful! Sorry to hear it. Still a month to go, maybe you heal up a bit and find your way out that day anyway.

 

[Lilys]

We are looking forward to it, it’s sounds exciting
