How to prepare for my first craft show

[Sliverfox]

Start attending craft shows, flea markets to look around at what is selling / prices.
Talk to vendors ,, surprising what you can learn.

Flea markets are a mix of junk, antiques & crafts.

The large craft show held in Oct, at local Applefest,, seems to have a lot of Halloween , Christmas decorations.
Followed by alpaca goods, wood items,, some metal art , painting, photography.

My first craft show is now history. It was a great learning experience and I sold 13 items (from paintings and photos to cartoon magnates). Setup required help not only from my wife but from the people running the tent next to me. I enjoyed talking to a host of people about my art and related topics.

WTG Bob! I admire your art and also how you stepped out of your comfort zone to enter the show and get all set up. Selling 13 pieces is awesome!!
