I spoke with a soror who was a vendor at Boule and she told be that the vendors are having a hard time breakin even. The cost to register as a vendor is $2500. The cost to be a vendor at Boule was $3000 with the soror discount. This does not include travel, hotel, merchandise, etc. costs. Something happened on Saturday with the contract so the vendors expected to open and could not until Sunday - so they lost 1 day of business. Many of them backed out at the last minute. I spent under $100 this year because there really wasn't anything there.

At Central Regional Conference, the vendors were very upset. They were so far away from the rest of the conference, many sorors refused to walk to see them. if they did, it wasn't more then once. There were two rooms, instead of one big one - so many sorors didn't even know about the second room of vendors. The vendors are suffering.

We are hosting an area retreat this fall and not only has the vendor price gone up, our regional director wanted to try to limit when they could open to only the times we were not in session. Of course, no vendor are going to agree to that arrangement, especially the ones that lost money at Boule.
