Hamfest Rules / Info

 

 

 

The Barrie Hamfest had a new venue last year. With it came some new ways to do things.
 
We were asked to keep the cars off the 7th line as there is a lot of gravel truck traffic and we wanted to keep everyone safe. So we brought everyone on to the grounds when they arrived and limited their access to the vendor areas till 9:00.

We also have reacted to complaints from the vendors that they would like a chance to set up their wares without other vendors trying to shop. We chose to use wrist bands to limit the access so vendors were not roaming around trying to buy things while some of the vendors are busy setting up. This was also to address another complaint from the general public that there is nothing left to buy when the doors open because some vendors have bought up all the deals. We had a great deal of positive feedback from  all but two of the vendors regarding this rule.

So far we have had a bit of feedback already and all of it has been very positive. We would like to balance the rules to make it a pleasant experience for everyone who attends Vendors and Public. So we are asking for some honest feedback from those who attended or if you didn't an opinion on the rules would be appreciated.
