Ok so my small town is trying to get vendors for a very small Farmer's Market to go on. I spoke with one of the women setting it up (there are 2 women) and they are looking into all the licenses and paperwork we all need to get this going.
I would love to sell my soap. I really would...it's like 3 blocks away from me and would love to be apart of something going on in my community.
When I spoke to first woman she said that I would need to commit to EVERY sunday from June-Oct. the fee was wonderful so that's not a problem. I provide table and tent. Not a problem either. I told her I could not commit but can do every other Sunday for sure. She came back to me pretty fast saying please don't say no so fast and to think about it. I told her I don't want to commit to something I am on the fence about because I like to keep my word on things like this.
She then came to me about an hour later and said "yes I just got word it will be every other weekend so that works for you! A lot of people were declining it because they couldn't commit to every week so they changed it". I said well then I am in if I only I can do it every other weekend.
Just got a notice on the FB page of the other woman saying she needs everyone's emails and numbers via PM so I sent mine over to her. I asked her now this time if I need to commit to evevery week. She said yes because the price for the season would be a weekly price if I didn't and then she can't promise me a space if there is not one available that week. So she is basically teling me the opposite from the other woman.
I don't know what to do at this point. Any advice? I can't commit to Sundays. But why would someone give me the answer I wanted to hear and then I am screwed when I couldn't be there?
