This event in Ventura has really gone down hill in the last 10 yrs. Hardly any vendors. This might be my last show I go to in Ventura.

   I was disappointed in that there weren’t as many vendors as in the past. Not as much variety. I used to spend a whole day shopping and going through the buildings maybe 2-3 time’s deciding on gifts for birthdays and Christmas plus a few things for myself. This year I only bought one item and that was from one of my favorite vendors.

    I’ve been attending for years. Vera disappointed for the first time that there were way less vendors. Why? Booth rent too high? Some items were quite pricey. My friends and I still bought a lot. Very few food trucks, no music, nothing for the kids. It wasn’t fun like it used to be. Less people attended on Friday. For the vendors sake, hope there’s a better show up Saturday and Sunday. Hope this event improves in the future!

   Very small. Should have done it at a park and charge nothing.

   With more vendors I would have had a better selection to choose from and been able to spend more time walking around. There was poor advertising of this years event.

   We did enjoy ourselves, but have started talking about finding another local festival with more choices of vendors & food. If not for the option of getting lunch on Main Street, we would have spent more time driving to & from the festival than actually being there

   The event was decent. I hope you get enough attendance, though. The only promotion I saw was in the Ventura County Star. I saw no other publicity (no social media—FaceBook, Instagram). I see many other area events via Facebook. No one under the age of 50 reads a newspaper anymore (I’m in my 60s). Other than limites publicity, the event seems well organized and the vendors were great. I hope there are enough visitors to make it worth it for the vendors.

   Although all the Vendors were really nice and had great items I was disappointed that more weren’t there …but I had a good time with my friends. Thank you for putting on this event every year. I attend as a Birthday present to myself.

   It was fun because of the friends I was with. The festival had a lot of empty booth spaces. And there was only 1 vendor outside which was sad. Over the years the number of vendors has really dropped off. This year the food court was really sad. We actually left the festival to go to downtown Ventura for food. Will really have to think hard before going next year.

   Wish there were more vendors.
