Our quilt show is our big money maker every three years. We pay almost $1000.00 for the rent of the high school. $5.00 is what we charge. I really don't think that it is too much to charge. You can come in and spend all day there. We have free demos and so do most of the vendors. $5.00 is a pretty cheap cost for a days entertainment. We on average have at least 10 vendors from up to 150 miles away and show over 200 quilts.
