Sin City Vendors

A few years ago (September 2018 to be more precise), I found out about a local event that I decided in which to participate. It was in the north part of town, quite far from where I usually did events, but it was free and I wanted to get more involved with events. 

It was in this nice woman's home. She opened up her nice huge home, inside and out, to over 20 vendors, at no charge, just because she wanted to help other women and their small businesses. Her name is Michelle Hare. 

Michelle was so nice and personable. And she instantly became one of my favorite people. 

I did a few more events there, first it was my crafts and my books (Usborne Books & More), then I added in my chocolates. 

Then she had to move and there was a pause in events. But she's such a determined go-getter and she finds a way! 

We had an event at her business location in Summerlin.

She then moved to a different location in Henderson, which, for the the last year 1/2 and a half, have been doing events. She had to start charging so she could advertise and get the word out. But still charged less than most, by a long shot. 

I enjoyed that location and we got a great following, and great successes. But in December someone called to shut us down for bogus reasons. I'm not here to name names, but I will tell you, that there are some people that don't want others to succeed. It's very sad. We were able to do a couple more events there, but selfish people persevered and we needed to look elsewhere. 

In January we went to a different location and had successes and frustrations, depending on who you talked to. Going forward with that space rental, they decided to raise the price and it wasn't fair or feasible. 

Michelle decided it was time to create a name for ourselves. So now we are

 

Sin City Vendors.

She went into business for herself click  HERE for her Facebook page. So we shared to look for new locations. 

In April we did an event at a location that was nice, but very out of the way, and it was not as successful, to no fault of anyone. It's hard to find locations that don't cost a lot here in Las Vegas! 

This month and next month we will be doing events at a co-working space called Bottega Exchange. Click HERE for their website. 

We are all excited to see how these events will go. This event space will help advertise and is accommodating. I have done an event here under a different event coordinator and enjoyed the space. We have a lot of great vendors and can't wait!

I've been in charge social media, graphic design, and helping with location search. I want our group to succeed, even more so, now that there are people out there who are trying to shut us down. 

So I've been the one who posts on our Facebook and Instagram. And I've been the one who designed our logo and designs the cool flyers & graphics. It's been a fun change to do different things and use my art skills in other ways. 

Below is our June 26th event. We will have more info on that after our MAY 22nd event. 

So if you aren't already, folliw us on our social media to find out when and where SIN CITY VENDORS will be next!
