TAGGED: calendar
Very, very, very disappointed with growrva. I went by the urban farmhouse come to find only 3 vendors. This is worst than the Friday event. This is most likely due to growrva’s poor planning and lack of communication and advertisement. I mean are people really going to come, when the people who are really interested have to search hard to even see if the event is taking place? And then the confusing of where it is happening and if it is even happen?!
This is why communication and interaction with the community is essential. When you don’t have effective communication and interaction with the community, things are a bust! And I’m sure there is no way it can sustain any length of life…. To bad…
