The ongoing dilemma of false promises from another bad promoter. This time the location was “The Martin County seafood nautical flea market festival”. Larry Burdgick Promoter misleads numerous vendors from the start.

Claimed he had numerous years experience of festival promotions. Lured vendors in with a very nice touch of offering them a prime spot and exclusivity to the 3 day event. To find out that the festival was over booked with fellow vendors (277) to be exact. Expected crowds of 10-20k visitors daily. Numerous duplications of multiple vendors, Ice Cream,snow ice,fried dough,funnel cakes to name a few. vendors packed together and not utilizing the fair grounds space was a dead ringer of promotional inexperience. The promoter obviously over sold the event.

When vendors complained he told them to leave. He got in peoples faces and verbally lashed them. One vendor stated there were 5 different people selling hot dogs with in feet of each other. One vendor came from a twenty hour round trip commute to find his spot was given to another vendor who sells the same exact product as him. A very experienced vendor was so disgusted packed up and exited on Sunday before opening. Many vendors were displaced to be re situated regardless of having there booth location number. Utter dismay one vendor claimed. There has to be something done to inform other vendors of the bad promoters out there. This was to be seafood family festival. Over booking seafood vendors who bought fresh product based on exclusivity, phony presold tickets and expectations of the number of vendors selected to be a part of the festival.

The general public was so angry they were being charged $7 to enter a flea market. One paying customer was saddened to learn that many people were coming in and not being charge a fee through the back vendor entranced. Majority of the time it was not being guarded by staff. Here is the best part. There was a Budweiser beer truck. Which is fine? on Friday is was beer only. But the promoter decided to become a vendor as well and set up a full bar in front of the beer stand. There is further investigating to see if full liquor licensed was obtained for this event. If not a full criminal investigation could be initiated. By the Florida Alcohol and tobacco. Vendors information association will continue to inform and strive nationally to update our fellow vendors of the bad promoters out there who have mislead others of obtaining there lively hood in the vendor industry.

I ask that you share other experiences with us. Post your experience. Please let others know of your experiences either good or bad. Thank you.

*Please forward this to other vendors you know and ask them to share there story with us so we could inform and protect our future. Vendors really do care and protect one another best interest.

Thank you for your time

Moving is one of the most depressing thing to do. It is depressing for both you and your pocket. It is depressing because you will have to leave the life that you have established at a certain point and start a new life somewhere else. You would have to leave your friends behind, the community that loved you, everyone that knows you and watched you as you grow. Believe it or not, no one likes to pack things. Well, if you never liked your old life then you might find travelling somewhere and beginning a new phase in life exciting. Whether you enjoy moving or not, you pockets would still hurt and at the same time, depressed. It is hard as it is unpleasant to find a truck rental service. It would most likely make you feel like finding a needle in a haystack, while transporting all that you own and at the same time bearing a new leaf. When you have already decided about everything, it is time to visit your local truck rental services company and have a little chat about your moving. There are a few things that you have to know about the process and some things that you have to remember when what is talked about is moving.

The price for renting a truck for moving varies greatly from every company, every day, and every month, everywhere. There is no standard price for renting a truck for moving no matter where you are and where you are headed when you move. You should also understand the law of supply and demand of economics. Truck rental services are in line with that law. Moving on the end of the month, during winter, towards the middle of nowhere is not such a very good idea. But if you insist, you have to work for another year, or better yet, you can just donate one of your kidneys just to pay the price. The thing here is that planning ahead would always make things less expensive. Truck rental services would most likely give you a cheaper price if you made the reservations ahead of time because they can see that they still have a lot of trucks until the end of the day, or the week.
