From LAAFF on Facebook:
To all of our vendors, artists, participants, supporters, I want to extend apologies from all of the LAAFF staff for any feelings of discontent. We recognize that as we try to grow to accommodate the demand, we sometimes get it wrong. We value and respect all of your input on things that work, things that don’t, and things that need to be changed. For our first time vendors who got placed on Rankin in the expanded footprint we hear your concerns and will be looking to address all of the issues that you have presented. As an organizer, it is challenging to balance the needs of everyone and to work for the utmost benefit of everyone. We don’t ever make any guarantees, however, our goal is always to serve the needs of our community. Please know that we will be looking very closely at ways to improve on the model should we have the opportunity to continue. Please know that we share in your heartfelt concerns and disappointment.
