I've worked on a site where we've hosted a number of events like this : from themed street food restaurants, to Santa's grottoes, to drive in cinemas, and I can confirm that at each and every event its all kept "in house" the hiring of staff, and nearly always cash-in-hand with payment made at the end of the day, or at the end of event. They didn't stay "for the kids"; they stayed because they hadn't been paid. And as soon as the event was done they never stuck around to apologise, they went to the pub to have a laugh about it. Also there stories just don't track : either they were told to dress appropriately, or they were given costumes; either they left after the event, or they left at break and came back. These two are liars, plain and simple. I'm guessing they're mates with the scammer who ran the event too. This is what damage limitation looks like.
