Some home-based business vendors in Brandon fear they've lost money after the hotel cancelled a local trade show, and the person they paid for tables stopped answering messages. Betty Reykdal said she contacted a trade show organizer on Facebook about two weeks ago after seeing a post looking to book home-based businesses in Brandon. "I feel angry, I feel saddened, I feel a little hurt personally," Reykdal said. Betty Reykdal sent an e-transfer for $50 to a person organzing a Brandon trade show, which has been cancelled by the hotel it was to take place at. She was offered a 50 per cent discount if she booked that day and also sent money by e-transfer.
