Boycott Snowbird Oktoberfest — Vendor Statement
Let’s be very clear about something:
Just because an event coordinator decides he has a “bad vibe” about a vendor does not automatically give him or Snowbird the legal right to disregard a binding agreement.
We were an 18-year veteran vendor with a positive record. We paid to participate in a 10-weekend event, showed up prepared to fulfill our obligations, and then, only two weekends into that commitment, we were told to remove our business and leave.
A personal feeling, personality conflict, or someone simply deciding they don't like a vendor is not the same thing as an established violation of an agreement.
If Snowbird believes we violated a specific provision of our vendor agreement, then identify the provision, identify the conduct, and show us where the contract authorized our removal under those circumstances.
Otherwise, we believe what happened raises serious questions regarding breach of contract, financial damages, and the treatment of vendors by Snowbird Oktoberfest.
You cannot simply take a vendor’s money, enter into an agreement, decide you have a “bad vibe” about them, remove them from the event, and expect them to quietly absorb the financial consequences.
Contracts matter. Small businesses matter. Accountability matters.
We intend to stand up for ourselves and pursue the remedies available to us.
VOTE WITH YOUR DOLLARS.
STAND WITH SMALL BUSINESS.
DEMAND ACCOUNTABILITY.
