I am writing in regards to Patty Artz's comment in her column on 9/19/09. I think that its a rotten shame how she can say that vendors are 'pigs in a pen'! I have been in the vendor business since i was 12! This a family owed business who has always put in long hours in all types of weather conditions, to try to make a hard, honest living. It dis-heartens me that someone who has a family run business can be so cold. Especially when she has "friends" in the vendor business!One thing she falls to realize is HOW MUCH of our product we give to people who we consider 'friends'! THATS MY STORY & I DONT APPRIECATE HERS!!!
