🌩 PVCM Community Update — A Note from Management.
Now that I’ve had a moment to breathe, balance out the overwhelm from the mass messages coming in, and let the coffee settle in, I want to speak directly to our vendors and our community about today’s cancellation.
I deeply regret the disappointment this caused. I know our bakers were already baking, our" food vendor, and artisan makers were prepping, and many of you were counting on the income you make here. I also know customers were looking forward to their Sunday routines, and some are frustrated or upset. I don’t take any of that lightly.
Yesterday afternoon was spent entirely in communication — emails, messages, updates — trying to balance safety, vendor turnout, and the reality of outdoor setups in unstable weather. Vendors were given the option to bow out, and many did. For some of our makers, rain doesn’t just slow sales — it damages or destroys their products. Because of that alone, we lost 35% of our vendor lineup in a matter of hours.
The weather forecast this morning was foreboding enough that running an outdoor market would have put both vendors and customers at risk. Many of our vendors have already dealt with rain at other events this week, and the strain is real. I regret having to cancel this late in the game, but Mother Nature came back this week like the biker in Raising Arizona — loud, chaotic, and not taking anyone’s feelings into account.
To the two vendors who did not see the posts or the emails, I am truly sorry you missed the messaging. I know how disruptive that is, especially when you’ve already prepped for the day. I’m working to make communication as clear and accessible as possible so this doesn’t happen again.
Thank you to everyone who communicated quickly, who understood the call, and who showed patience through the confusion. We’ll regroup, reset, and be ready for next Sunday — weather permitting.
Your support means everything. Stay safe today, and thank you for being part of the PVCM community.
