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?
We started our venture by participating in few local Armenian bazaars and set up tables with our jewelry and pictures of Armenia. Now years later, we have sold literally hundreds of pictures and added to our stock of Armenian souvenirs to include all that you'll see on this website and more.
