Local small businesses counting on the Holly Jolly Jamboree for holiday sales were blindsided when the event was abruptly cancelled—without a single heads-up from organizers. Many vendors only found out through social media rumors, after already paying fees and prepping inventory. Calls to the Over-the-Rhine Chamber of Commerce went unanswered, with the phone line disconnected. For some, this was their last shot at a holiday market. The Chamber now says refunds are coming, but the lack of communication has left many frustrated and questioning how this could happen. How should event organizers handle cancellations to protect small businesses? #Business #Cincinnati #SmallBusiness
