Thank you to everyone that stopped by the Food and Art Festival today on the Jordan Block, and thank you so much to SS Shirts N More for the AMAZING aprons for the Junior Chef tent. The kids that stopped by to make cookies had a great time, and your generous donation of the free aprons makes the activity extra special. Thank you for always going the extra mile.
I do want to apologize for the no-shows, though we obviously had no control over it. I know that a couple of other large events happened just outside town today, so you never quite know which way the crowds will go, but you kind of safely assume that your vendors will show up! As a fellow organizer, though, I am happy that the weather held out for all of our outdoor events--I like to think there is a solidarity across the board and we all just want the visitors to be happy.
We had SEVEN no shows--4 of which were food trucks. This has a major effect on an event, as well as the organizer. Planning and organizing is a long process, and it has numerous expenses, much like anything. If you can't make it to a future event, please just send an email or quick message so things can be adapted. That quick show of respect goes a long way.
Thank you! Stay kind--and see you at the Sensory Fest on August 23rd!
