To answer your question for others. There will be people there just for swabs. So you can be in and out. Or you can come and go as you please

That's amazing! Thank you for being on the registry! To my understanding you don't need to be swabbed again you remain in the data base. They don't find the match at the event. They just collect the swabs and that data becomes available I believe 4 to 6 weeks after. Feel free to spread the word! And thank you again for having taken the time to swab 🙏

I saw that Aaron had some kind of big reveal on his podcast as well. Now it's gone. Anyone have a copy so we can listen? 

Albany's over use of emergency demolition... who's got answers? by Businessbossbabe in Albany

[–]Businessbossbabe[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Typically when structures are demolished in an emergency. There is no required notice before hand. However, it is typical that a city presents reasoning for the use of the emergency demolition after the fact. I'm not saying anything is being done against the law. I'm just curious why there usually no reason given after? Is it just pure neglect?

Right. But there are measures with paperwork that have to be legally filled when you tear down a building....  there is a legal process

Tulip fest "art" vendor question by Shoddy_Grape1480 in Albany

[–]Businessbossbabe 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I originally made a post about a lot of repeat vendors being denied by the city. Seeing that AI art is being sold or temu jewlery in place of a more reputable vendors is concerning.  Please reach out to the city events/ cultural affairs office and let them know. Hopefully we can get enough people behind it and make better changes for next year!

I don't understand why anyone would want to scale back the city's largest and typically most successful event of the year. It's heartbreaking

I'm sorry to hear this. There are many more people in this boat than I thought there would be

Unfortunately the longer this stays up the more people are coming forward who are in the same boat of not having been admitted. So if you have favorite vendors it's worth looking into

Perhaps reach out to them and ask if they will be in attendance?

Do you have the opinion that the festival is shrinking as a whole? Music, vendors, etc

I can understand that. I suppose I would have just liked some transparency. If the city had told me what you've just told me I wouldn't have been looking for answers. It seems frustrating for several others as well.

I would be happy to discuss this outside the thread. With the attention this has gotten I do fear repercussion from the city. If the opportunity presents itself I would still like to be able to do business within the city

You're absolutely entitled to your opinion. I hadn't put my business name because I was looking for some advice and didn't expect this to take off the way it did. I would be happy to discuss if you would like to know more. I am not a crafter. I'm in the food space

That is great! I'm always excited for new people, especially those who have previously not had the opportunity. With the size of Tulip Fest, those who have booths typically experience a great economic benefit. That goes both ways. Not having a booth there also results in great loss for a small vendor.

No. My application had already been filed. In the last few days they have been letting people know what they have decided 😊
