However, I understand your concern about volunteer power. I'm not sure how many times they have done this before, but if this becomes an annual event, or even something like it becomes annual or if they want to do something similar at other times during the year, the relationships and contacts formed in the beginning will seriously reduce the effort needed. If it's really successful, they potentially would have vendors contacting them instead of the other way around. While it will still take a lot of man power, starting something like this might prove invaluable over the years as the vendors, volunteers, and staff become more well versed over the years.Leslie Fayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07926846186618638581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3518382132353952045.post-66198807536792730032008-11-15T11:35:00.000-05:002008-11-15T11:35:00.000-05:00As you probably know, I love Christmas, and I love Christmas decorations. I totally want to go to this event! Although I do question how many people associate this Christmas market with the Houston Ballet, I'm sure it does net a profit and appeal to a very wide market. I suspect more individuals attend the Nutcracker market than attend any or all of the ballets.Erikahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17738866878932699413noreply@blogger.com
