I do a couple of craft shows a year. I never go over $25.00 You have to shop around but I like smaller shows. The bigger the show, the more the dollar gets cut up. People come usually with a set amount of money to spend and if it's a small show, you stand a better chance of getting your part of their dollar. Just my opion, but it works for me.Your husband is right, look how hard you worked to make that $50.00 nd with the economy the way it is, I am even questioning going into the 2 I usually do, as people are not spending their dollars at a craft show.
