Brownsville vendors react to new $50 fee for monthly First Friday event
· KRGV (NBC 5)
Vendors at Brownsville's monthly First Friday event will now face a $50 fee for their spots. City Commissioner Pedro Cardenas explained that rising production costs necessitated this change to support city staff and promote the event. Reactions among vendors vary; Leticia Gonzalez, a mother of six, expressed concerns about the added expense, stating it could be unmanageable given her current costs. In contrast, Aldo Banuelos, a newer vendor, feels the fee won't significantly impact his business. Cardenas mentioned that they are considering lower-cost options for some vendors to ease the financial burden.
