π **A very difficult announcement about Pumpkin Palooza** π
I honestly never thought Iβd be writing this, and I am absolutely gutted to say that Pumpkin Palooza will no longer be going ahead.**
Over the last few days, we have had 6 vendors pull out just today along with the majority of the free entertainment/options we had arranged. I have worked incredibly hard behind the scenes to try and make this event the best it could possibly be, and Iβve also spent a lot of money on advertising because I was determined not to let the charity, our supporters or the people who had booked down.
But ultimately, I have to be honest with myself. I donβt want people turning up to an event that isnβt what I promised it would be. I wanted Pumpkin Palooza to be a fun-filled afternoon that people could enjoy while also raising money for such an important cause, and unfortunately, with so many elements now no longer available, I donβt feel I can deliver the event to the standard I expect from myself.
This decision has not been made lightly. I know some of you were really looking forward to it, and I am genuinely heartbroken that we wonβt be able to share the day we had planned. π
I want to say a huge thank you to every single person who booked a ticket, every stallholder who committed to joining us, everyone who offered their time or services, and everyone who shared our posts and supported the event. And a massive thank you to Minerva Masonic Hall for being so understanding and willing to host us.
β€οΈ All stallholders will be refunded, and everyone who has purchased a ticket will also receive a full refund. I will be working through these refunds as quickly as possible.
Once I have finished processing everything, Iβm going to take a *mshort break. Iβve put an enormous amount of time, energy, money and emotion into trying to make this happen, and I think I need to take a little time to breathe and reset.
Thank you for understanding, for supporting Luckett This Party, and most importantly, for supporting the reason behind Pumpkin Palooza in the first place. β€οΈ
Iβm truly sorry. This one really hurts. ππ
