front Page!
My display made the front page. So excited!!! Several people have told me that they came to the fair just to see the hydro. I have talked till I have almost lost my voice everyday. So much interest out there in gardening via hydro. I have given out over 100 club cards so I think the hydro club is going to take off. It's totally unbelieveable....
Here is the article, she got it mostly right... http://www.tri-cityherald.com/2012/0...-to-be-on.html Last edited by fintuckyfarms; 08-23-2012 at 09:58 AM. |

That's excellent fintuckyfarms, all your hard work is paying off. Out of all the displays at the fair, it's yours that made the front page. That says a lot. Not to mention your local news station wants to do a story on you as well. Your a local celeb now. It dosen't get much better than that for publicity. I knew you were going to have a great display. Great job!!! I hope your husband has been well enough to enjoy your success with you. As for me, I just want to say thanks for helping to promote hydroponics for food production.
P.S. If they have one, post a link to the video of the news story. I'd love to see it. |

This is the link, I still have not seen it. I think they just showed stills of the display which I'm good with.
Learn about Hydroponics Gardening at the Benton Franklin Fair - NBC Right Now/KNDO/KNDU Tri-Cities, Yakima, WA | I have to say it has been awesome, people are coming by all day and some are completely mind blown with this concept. Some people have been researching it but didn't know where to start. The people most interested in it are the older crowd. One couple wanted to convert their master bathroom garden tub into a system because they don't use it anymore. I have also talked to lots of "preppers" who are looking for mobile systems that are transportable and people that want to be off the grid and have lots of questions about power usage. Think I am pretty much a shoe in for the master gardener program that starts in January as they want me to come do talks at the local schools and maybe set up a display garden at one of the parks. The only thing that I think will work would be an aquaponics system for that situation. Anyway it is going well and lots of people are being interduced to hydroponics and I have lots of interest in the hydro club so I need to get cracken on setting up a meeting place and topics for the first meeting. My facebook is already getting likes and comments and I am having lots of fun. |

Some Fair Display photos
Here are some fair display photos...
I gave out one box of business cards (250) and I have lots of interest in the club. People were amazed that I was not selling anything and just giving out information. Got a lot of "mind blowen" looks when I told them about all of the benifits of hydro and showed them the roots. I think a lot of lightbulbs were lit the last several days Last edited by fintuckyfarms; 08-26-2012 at 10:22 PM. |
