How not to organize a fair

By The Saleswoman
  • Wait until our fourth communication to tell me it’s an outdoor event.
  • Organize a pointless in-person planning meeting for vendors.
  • As the organizer, turn up late to said meeting.
  • Make us switch rooms three times for this meeting.
  • Have us drive 20 minutes each way for this meeting, only to be told the set-up time and the inclement weather plan – both of which could have easily been communicated by email.

Let’s hope the actual event goes better than the planning has! Suffice it to say, my expectations are low…
