From the builder ball guys. If I had more to show I would get a booth for support to get this going again.
Split a booth?
Hi Cottage Bike Industry Aficionados,
The time is coming when we have to decide to pull the trigger or pull the plug on the Builders’ Ball. Currently, there aren’t enough builders or makers registered to have a show. We need to get the majority of vendors locked down so we can finalize the show and start making the big push for attendees.
This first year of the reboot is critical to get your support. I know it’s asking a lot going into this unknown. The truth is, we don’t have much leverage to show you or a venue right now with no historical attendee metrics or media impressions so the venue we chose is to have a beautiful day to show and ride bikes. Our goal this year is to put you in front of as many admirers/potential customers as we can because we love all your bikes and gear and want you to have an opportunity to showcase your hard work. We’re going to invite every media outlet and instafluencer we can get a hold of and draw attendees from all over New England. We’re going to spotlight our builders/makers on instagram and the website. We have solid growth plans to keep year round attention on New England builders, but we have a chicken and egg scenario right now and the best move forward is making sure the show can happen.
We’re willing to work with anyone who needs to split up payments so please reach out if you’ve been holding off due to available funds. But I need some commitment from enough people to warrant the venue and event permits from the town.
If you’ve missed the info about the show, need clarification, or have questions on anything, please don’t hesitate to reach out. I’m putting the link here for vendor booth tickets.

I wish I could go but Made gobbled up all of my travel budget for the year. It would be sad to see a more local show not happen, but the timing is rough.

I hear you. I will probably not make it to MADE. so the local show would be great especially since I live in CT.
