Started by vendors at Boston Winter 8 years, 9 months ago

Do you care about the truth?

Several vendors, if not all of us have lost significant money at Boston Winter 2017. We all know that the market didn't live up to our expectations and that visitors number were very low. Yet, TD Garden has reported to the press on 12/26/2017 that the event was a sounding success and that it was set to attract 500,000 visitors this year!

Boston Winter Village Inc. the organizer of the event and its founder Lena Romanova formally denounced the publication of erroneous data, asked the City to investigate the reason of underperformance and the delays caused by TD Garden that hindered the preparation of the event until 6 weeks before it opening to the public on 11/24/2017.

TD Garden took credit for the overall event to collect significant revenues from sponsors such Berkshire, Xfinity and Uber. Boston Winter Village asked TD Garden to compensate those vendors who lost money at the event.

TD Garden has now decided to terminate Boston Winter Village Inc. from Boston Winter 2018 and demanded payment of significant sums.

Boston Winter Village Inc. is a small business like ours. Please sign the following petition to support Boston Winter Village in its quest to seek justice for small businesses like yours and mine.

Boston winter village has been great to us for the last two years. I totally support them in keeping Boston winter going for 2018. Boston need this for a great sense of communite as well as us artists need something like this. It is unfortunate that td garden can not communicate effectively with its smaller counter parts and why there can't be an agreement that works for all parties.

Long hours, hard work, great expense, and unending dedication by the many vendors trying to at least earn back some of the money lost and beaten out by big money!

I can't express how sad I am to see this monster company called TD garden destroying something that was created for the Boston public. I support you all for making sure the City open an investigation and that Boston Winter Village is treated fairly. PS. City of Boston is a corrupt City. What's new?

I fully support Boston Winter Village and its effort to create a great event despite the hindrance by TD Garden. I also deplore those 3 or 4 vendors who are spreading false information simply because they weren't happy with their chalet placement

Delaware North is the most unethical corporation in all America. See what they have done for Yosemite and many other places. We support Boston Winter Village for the examplary work they have done in difficult conditions and an unscrupulous partner

Tanzania School Foundation needed to make decent monies to continue the building of their St. Nicholis School.......my niece, Christine Lott, worked hours, hours and day upon days.....all her scarves, jewelry, etc. were outstanding but not much for the school's continuation.....

Boston Winter was not quite what it was supposed to be.

Did not live up to the expectation. Very few people were in attendance.
