I am with a vol dept in PA, we have a yearly craft fair. We invite sveral crafters to set up at our station and sell their products. We charge them for the floor space only. We sell food and baked good which is where we make the majority of money. Also we have a kids fest in the summer, this is sort of like a small carnival. We have free games for the kids, a smoke house, kids watch takes finger prints and pictures and the guys demonstrate how they use the jaws at an accident. Here again we make our money on the food and baked goods. And you can do sandwich sales. Hope this helps. ESFD2013
