Someone place a brick in each of DELETED's coat pockets, we would not want him to blow away. I knew it would come to this one day. Rocket scientist and car salesmen, do not mix well with public service. Might be deceased by next year.

Someone place a brick in each of DELETED’s coat pockets, we would not want him to blow away.

I knew it would come to this one day. Rocket scientist and car salesmen, do not mix well with public service.

We are in a wind advisory and all the tents and umbrellas would have been flying along with the wares folks are trying to sell. It would have been a dangerous situation. When was the last time you saw festival organizers refund fees due to inclimate weather? It's the game you play if your a vendor who is part of the festivities. Thank you Atmore for allowing those that paid to come back next year for free. The weather can be aggravating for all of us at times. The Atmore Chamber of Commerce did the right thing.

Vendors have tents and visitors have umbrellas....why cancel due to showers?? And I agree with previos posts, vendors should be refunded....not being refunded will increase chance they will not be back next year. They made that investment to make income off their sales, they need their money too. I could understand no refund if the vendor canceled, but not when the event is! Sad to see it canceled.

Those vendors knowingly paid that money with the understanding it is non-refundable. My organization paid for a booth and we are not complaining about the situation. We will attend next year. Atmore is not doing anything “shady” in this situation. I hate to disappoint.

These vendors paid their money in good faith, not knowing it would be canceled. Give their money back and maybe they will be back next year. This sounds like something Century would do.

Seems inconvenient. What if vendors are unable to attend next year? Seems like a good way to get by with taking people's money. I'd offer at least a partial refund with the other part put towards next year. I know you would be losing money, but that would be a better business practice. As is, all those vendors will now lose money and have nothing to show for it. Hmmm, no vendor refunds offered at all. Seems inconvenient. What if vendors are unable to attend next year?

We always just brought one of those new inventions called an "Umbrella". It's a sad day for Atmore! WOW… this is the first time in 20 years it has ever been cancelled.
