Armenian Events - What could make them better?

This weekend is Memorial Day Weekend. This means people will be getting together for BBQ's, Drinks, Music, Swimming in Pools, Dancing, and any other forms of fun they can have with friends and family.
This also means the start of the Armenian Picnic Season followed by the Armenian Bazaars.

We've been running ArmenianVendor.com for 7+ years now and have vended at countless functions from Maine to NJ to Upstate NY and everywhere else in between. Everywhere we go we get asked the same question by our hosts: "What do you think we could do to make our event more fun, more attractive, bigger, and better?"

We've seen many forms of entertainment for the families over the years at these events including pony rides and games for kids, Tavloo tournaments for adults, live bands for dancing, and so on. I would love to throw the question out to you all. What would attract YOU to come to an Armenian event?

We grew up in NJ. To get to an Armenian event meant driving 45 minutes and spending the day with family and friends. Also, you'd be lucky to get 4-5 events per year to attend. Once we moved to Boston, our drive was cut much shorter and there were events every weekend we could attend. Adding ArmenianVendor to the events has definitely given people something more to do when they come to the event. We've had people telling us they attend the event knowing we'd be there. So maybe that's one answer.....having more Armenian Vendors at the events......but again I throw the question out to all of you. What would make YOU attend an Armenian event and WHY?

2013 ArmenianVendor Update!!!

We cant believe 2013 is already approaching Memorial Day Weekend!

We've already tucked away two events that we attended....
* Armenian Sister's Academy had their bazaar back in March 23, 2013 right before Palm Sunday. It was a great way to start the season off. Many delicious aromas filled the air with all the Armenian pastry and BBQ'in that went on that day. There were TONS of events for children to participate in and truly everyone from the kids to the grandparents had a fantastic time at this wonderfully organized Armenian event.
* St Stephen's Armenian School Bazaar took place on May 3rd and had many different Armenian vendors, a variety of children's activities, along with tons of great food and so many people that they sold out of just about everything very fast!

We have many more events already lined up that we'll be attending starting at the Armenian Memorial Church the Friday and Saturday after Memorial Day Weekend. The entire list of events for this summer that we've been invited to vend at so far can be seen here: http://www.armenianvendor.com/default.php

ArmenianVendor.com has been busy revamping it's website as well and has added many new, updated, easy to use features to it's website.
* We have a guestbook for you to sign which you can access here: http://pub49.bravenet.com/guestbook/4173133484/
* We now have a photo gallery which you can access from the main page and see our setups at all the different events we've attended in the last few years.

We have two very exciting upcoming additions to the website including:
* An affiliate program which will help us work with other companies online to bring traffic to each other's sites and also to pay commissions to the hosts for sales made by those who were guided to our site and vice versa.
