​The Downtown Bend Business Association (DBBA) and Business for Bend Film hosted a Downtown Business Merchant Meeting at the Tin Pan Theatre this morning, Thursday Feb 6th, 2020.  Today’s guest was Melissa King and Aaron Switzer with Lay it Out Events (LIOE).  About 35 business owners attended the meeting to learn about changes to Fallfest, Summerfest and the Bite of Bend. 
 
The informal presentation by Aaron Switzer and Q & A session that followed was positive, constructive, and was met with extreme gratitude from local merchants.
 
The meeting ended with a resounding applause. 
​
“Lay it Out Event’s staff is here and they accept hugs,” joked Mindy Aisling, Executive Directory of the DBBA, in response to the overwhelming acknowledgement of the positive changes that LIOE had presented.

These changes include:
  1. LIOE to provide a downtown liaison position to address access issues, support joint marketing efforts and work with LIOE staff to provide for and accommodate a business’s ‘day-of’ needs.
  2. LIOE to rotate the stage at Bite of Bend and move the main stage for Fall and Summerfest
  3. LIOE to, as code allows, redo layouts to move vendors to the center of the street
  4. LIOE to require all event and vendor staff to park off-site and outside of the EID
  5. LIOE to provide deeper cleaning post-festival
  6. LIOE to provide pre and post-festival meetings with the City and the DBBA
  7. LIOE to launch a new app featuring downtown retailer discounts, free to DBBA members for the first year
  8. LIOE to design scavenger hunts on this app to drive traffic
  9. LIOE to offer stage time, free of charge, to the DBBA and community groups
  10. LIOE to conduct surveys at select events and share data with retailers
  11. LIOE to facilitate ‘Art of the Song’ workshops (scheduling festival performers to play at local businesses within the EID pre and post-festival.
  12. LIOE to work with downtown businesses on sidewalk sale promotions
  13. LIOE to provide an after-festival party promotion
  14. LIOE to provide dedicated media for Downtown – full-page guide ads, separate social media, posters, and logistical support.

Questions from the engaged audience included, but were not limited to:

Q:  Will you be able change the placement of vendors so that a competing vendor isn't right in front of my store?
A: Yes

Q: Is there a way that we can still get our deliveries during these events?
A: Yes

Q: Can I have my own booth in front of my business?
A: Yes, and we'll give you a discounted rate

Q: Is there a cost for all of the new integration tools your suggesting (scavenger hunts, art of song, full downtown page in the event guide)?
​A: No

After asking half a dozen questions, one business manager exclaimed, "I can't believe it, you've solved all of the problems we've been having during these festivals. This is amazing."  
 
The final comment of the meeting was from a long-time business owner in Downtown Bend, “I’ve been here for 20 years, and these festivals have always been a burden for my business.  I’ve never experienced collaboration like this, and I’m incredibly pleased with this development.”

I'm so happy to share this with you that can read / see this now. When I started trading binary and forex a few months ago, I really didn't have the necessary tools to trade and I lost a lot until I met Pablo Martinez who taught me all about market psychology as he managed my account for me. Today I am grateful to him for his great offer and help because it really changed my financial situation with an investment capital of $1500 and now I'm earning around $35,500 - $30,000 profits per week. Here is his WhatsApp no: +44 7520 636249 or his email address: pm7234029@gmail.com

I suffered from what they called peripheral artery disease (PAD). I have been suffering for years, Me and my wife searched for a medical cure, and then we came across a testimony of a man who suffered the same and was cured by Dr Chief Lucky. So my wife and I contacted Dr Chief Lucky via an email and thank God he replied. I explained what was wrong and he sent me herbal medicines that helped heal me completely. I am happy to say that herbal medicine is the ultimate and Dr Chief Lucky I am grateful.

My ex-husband and I had always managed to stay friendly after our divorce in February 2017. But I always wanted to get back together with him, All it took was a visit to this spell casters website last December, because my dream was to start a new year with my husband, and live happily with him.. This spell caster requested a specific love spell for me and my husband, and I accepted it. And this powerful spell caster began to work his magic. And 48 hours after this spell caster worked for me, my husband called me back for us to be together again, and he was remorseful for all his wrong deeds. My spell is working because guess what: My “husband” is back and we are making preparations on how to go to court and withdraw our divorce papers ASAP. This is nothing short of a miracle. Thank you Dr Emu for your powerful spells. Words are not enough.
