This is for <popcorn> who is interested in doing a craft fair. It may be too late to do a Christams bazaar,but please consider a spring bazaar. We start "advertising" for vendors around the end of January. For us a srping bazaar is a big success, especailly since most groups mainly do a Christmas one.
All these posts are so helpful! Thanks to all.....Now I have another question! We have only sold 5 tables...any ideas how drum up business?
I was thinking of putting an ad in the paper...
Thanks again.
We made almost $700 from renting out the tables to crafters. We also raffled off 5 theme baskets (one for each grade level). This made about $330. Also one of the crafters is a PTA mom and she donated half of her profits which was $140. We did not make any money on the food. We had a local restarant take over this part. However next year we plan on making changes with the food so that we can make money from this as well. It does take some work and planning but it does well for us. Also the community and crafters look forward to it every year.
