Our guild recently had a show, after a 5 year gap. Two days.
Raffle quilt with tickets for sale by members prior to show as well as at the show. Winning ticket drawn at end of show.
Tombola - small items made by guild members like wallhangings, placemats etc and tickets sold like a penny sale - (paid $5 for a bunch of tickets with the same number, drop your tickets into whichever item drew your fancy , at the end of the show, draw for who won which item).
Boutique of items made by members for sale to attendees - no magazines, patterns, fabric etc out of respect to vendors in the vendors mall. Percentage of sales was taken by guild.
Some vendors set up around edges of show.
Members charged admission unless working that day/time.
It was my first experience with helping with a show, as I had joined since the previous show.
Added:
The intent of the show was to showcase what our guild does. There was an area showcasing the charity work we do.
The financial goal was to not lose money. Raffle quilt proceeds went to charity work (I think I'm remembering correctly).
There was a lunch counter as well.
