Yes, the festival is moving to Deerfield, NH.
Yes, I've been fired as the vendor contact, via a message on my answering machine.
I was fired by the committee, who decided there needed to be a vendor committee. Right now that is a mother and daughter team. I feel for them. It is a hard enough job without a whole new venue on top of it all. And without all the information that Shari and I have had. But, I am helping when I can.
Yes, I am fine. I am looking forward to being 'just' a vendor.
No, I have no real answers about anything.
This is the email I sent our vendors. I just want to show I have absolutely nothing to hide!!
Good day all!!
Some of you have heard the news, but for the rest of you that I've not seen in the past couple of weeks here goes.
#1-I've been fired as your vendor contact person via a message on my answering machine.
Jeff Jordan, the NHSWGA and the NH Sheep & Wool Festival president, called and left a message on my machine as follows- '...the festival committee has decided to go with a committee for the vendors this coming year...' (I know WHO fired me, and the petty reason behind it, but I am looking forward to being ONLY a vendor after 8+ years of working directly with all of you!!)
And your new contact person is Joan Chapin - 603-755-3825 or stillmeadowjoan@gmail.com
#2-We are moving to Deerfield! I was told Saturday that it was voted on, and got an email today confirming it.
34 Stage Road
Deerfield, NH 03037-1607

Since I know no more than any of this, I suggest you contact Joan Chapin, or the NHSWGA's president or vice president. http://www.nhswga.com/nhswga-contacts
See you in 2012.

By the way, Shari Mead and I thank you from the bottom of our hearts for all of your help and cooperation in the past years.
So. That is all I have to say about this.
See you in Deerfield!

I'm sorry to hear this. I know lots of people travel from afar to attend this but Hopkinton was so convenient. I don't think I'll be going to Deerfield. I'm wondering why the change. Sounds like it's being run by some inconsiderate jerks. Too bad
