4000 doesn't seem like a big crowd.
When I hear "juried craft show" ... my thoughts are that the vendors have been screened for quality and variety. To me, it means I can go to the show knowing there will many different types of items to purchase .... and that they will be of an upper quality level.
Lindy2 ... Am I on the same wavelength as you? If so, I'm surprised you haven't had to make that decision as to what you are going to be selling before being accepted. Previous vendors should be able to give you a good idea as to what might be saleable. Another thing you might want to inquire ... what is the price-point that sells at that show? Some shows, they know that anything up to $x will sell like hot cakes ... and beyond will not! And similarly, previous vendors will know items that would never sell, no matter the price!
Good Luck!
