New England Frag Farmers Market

I am also running a few side hustles this year again. Here is one of them...


I have had conversations with a few FFM vendors lately and many shared that attendance is down at shows. I hate to hear that, but some even told me that it “isn’t worth” coming out. I have other people who are more than happy to step into those open spots, no problem there, but “not worth it?” Thats one I can’t work with… I need you guys to PROVE THEM WRONG. COVID numbers are falling faster than the Bucs playoff odds for next year and I feel like the FFM is going to be the re-start for the reef hobby in our area. I want to be able to post a big smile after the FFM is over, with a HUGE FFM turnout so the vendors who decided that it “wasn’t worth it” regret it. Here is what I decided to do…

How to play:
1. Print out the FFM poster from the “CT Frag Farmer’s Market” group page on FB (or above) and bring it to a LFS, or shop that sells salt water/reef related items.
2. Put the poster up in the shop to let people know about the FFM (front desk, door, bulletin board, etc…). Please let the place know you are posting it! If they are reluctant, negotiate, or have them reach out to me I have a way to help them out with the FFM, even if they are not selling at it.
3. Take a selfie with the poster hung up in the shop and post the pic in this thread on FB, with the store name and location, or send me a copy of the pic and I can post it on FB for you. That gets your name entered into the contest.
4. For every time you find a new LFS to put the poster up in, you get one entry into a raffle for a $100 FFM Gift Certificate that can be used at ANY of the vendors at the FFM!!!

Rules:
1. Limit one poster/entry per LFS. So, only the O.P. gets the entry for that shop.
2. You get two entries if you post a pic of a receipt from the shop along with your selfie to prove that you bought something while you were there. Support your LFS!
3. No limit to the number of shops you can “claim” by hanging a poster and posting yourself with it. Hit em all!
4. “Local” is a relative thing. Let’s get the FFM poster up ALL OVER the East Coast and beyond. This is not just a CT thing.
5. Winner will be pulled from the list of posts on March 4th and will be posted on the FFM group page on FB. The GC will be ready for pick up at the front gate at the FFM on March 5th.
