Huge festival

I just finished a smaller festival this weekend and it finally made me excited on what I am doing. Not only did I have tens of people compliment me and my husband on our work but I more then made my vendor fee back by 5 times. Fee was $125 for 2 days.

that being said, when I spoke with some of the vendors at this event they told me about another event that was to be 4 times the size that I should look into. They said it might be impossible to get in so late in the year (it is in 2 weeks), but to call around the event or even local companies next to the event to work out of their yard or parking lot. So calling around, fees were anywhere from $200 - $450 a space.... YIKES! I'm too cheap for that. That put Mr. Meanie in 'nothing is impossible' mode. He called several of the businesses around the event and got a hook right outside the event. They even offered to move their other vendors around to put us in the front to help bring people in. I'm in the food court area!!!!! ...... BEST PART! No fee for now!!! If....they said IF we make money they will only ask for $100 because we will benefit them more being there to help bring people to their business!!! YAY!!! cheers
