Fair Survey 2018!
Thank you to all those who completed our survey last year! We are using the results to help plan this year’s fair.
Take a look yourself just for the fun of it.
Comments:
Very well done. Wonderful that this was organized at a local level. Thanks!
Was a great experience. Networking with other vendors and cancer survivors.
Acoustics were terrible. Hard to hear speakers. Speaking should be in a separate room. Done! Booths and speakers will be in separate rooms this time.
A vendor with chemo caps would be great! Can’t find anyone nearby who does this. Help!
By having access to cash – more money could possibly have been raised – or post on website cash only. Right! Bring Cash. (We will try for electronic too. Here’s hoping)
Shopping bags at entrance for “goodies” would be appreciated. They were at the front. We’ll have them there again.
Just a great feeling to be able to meet and network with people who understand how you feel. We have optional name tags at the front. Add “breast cancer”, “doctor”, “spouse” and people will know you are willing to network.
Include more complimentary treatment options. We agree! Who wants to join us?
Informative and entertaining. Loved the spectrum of stalls.
Anishinabek teachings. Does anyone know someone for this?
Was a great experience. Networking with other vendors and cancer survivors. We were hoping that part would work! Thanks.
Having the fair in North Bay would increase awareness. Done! We needed to get bigger and have a separate speakers room this year, so Widdifield High School in North Bay it is!
Well organized. Love agenda. As a cancer survivor I want to say thank you for doing/arranging this! A huge undertaking and very impressive!
Do it again! Join us on Saturday, October 20th 2018.
