Hi Chuck, I do Dog shows all the time. They are very hit and miss, you just never know what your going to get. I just did a show this weekend and this is what happened.... $136 for the booth for two days, Sat. I got up at 4am, drove two hours to be there by 6am. One hour to set up and be ready by 7am when the dog people start to show up. We were busy and we did well but it got very windy in the afternoon and ours and two other vendors tents broke. $250 for a new tent and thank goodness it did'nt fall on the laser. I got home about 6pm. After I got home I had to do 2 Beer Mug orders I needed my other laser to do for the customer to pick up at the show Sunday. Sunday was slow but we did ok despite a busted tent.
Next weekend I can not go to a show because I can not get a tent in time. $150 in nonrefundable booth rental.
It is not always this bad but it does have its challenges.
