T'n'T vendor disagrees

The dispute continues regarding the closing time for the Trash 'n' Treasures Day. Cramahe Now reader Roseanne Quinn refutes comments made by Cramahe Development Officer, Rebecca Goddard-Sarria.

Ms. Quinn writes:

I don't know who Rebecca Goddard-Sarria may be referring to when she says "the
only person complaining about the 2 p.m. closing time was informed of it earlier". If she's referring to me, I knew nothing about it closing at 2 p.m. The Cramahe office staff I phoned to rent tables from didn't mention it and I hadn't seen any advertising about it as I don't get any local papers. As for Mayor Marc Coombs referring to the "early" opening time this year, Trash and Treasures has actually had vendors like me setting up at 5 a.m. for years.

I guess it isn't until the powers that be actually show up at these events that they see what goes on. Ms. Goddard-Sarria is new to this area and knows very little about how things worked before she came - they worked very well I might add, with set up by non-paid volunteers. Somehow things get more complicated when people have to be paid for their work. I guess that's why they won't stick around on a Saturday after 2 p.m.
