    Hi everyone. We was at spring fest in Davenport today. I bought a coral from a gentleman from Michigan and I didn't have it once I got home. I was hoping I left it and someone can tell me what to do
    It was plain white but he told me it would be 3-4 different colors. I don't remember what he said it was tho. Please let me no what to do. I'm kinda upset about it.

    Well. Hard to say where it ended up. I was there for cleanup and I did not find any coral laying around.
    I am guessing Motor City Corals or Cherry corals but not sure who it would be from.

    If the location in the venue could be identified, one might figure out who had the coral. It's unfortunate but it does happen when vendors hold corals for customers. Customers forget to return and vendors often times forget who bought it. I do not like to hold coral for that very reason.

    Did you leave it with the seller to pickup later, or you had the coral and you put it down somewhere at the event and it got lost?

    That sucks, hope you find it.

    If you don't end up finding it, and really want the coral you might be able to get a hold of the seller and see if he can cut you a break on another piece. These guys are usually pretty awesome and want to make sure everyone is happy, even if it's something like in your situation.
