Remember that you will need to make money at this venture.

Doing outdoor shows usually means the vendor (you) provides or rents a canopy and any tables needed plus at least 1 chair. For indoor shows, tables and lights are needed. Sometimes these can be rented from the show producer. Electricity is usually a good thing to have for indoor shows.

Anyway it is tough to make a living at about $5 per sale. I suggest finding something you can make either $10-$20 per sale on, or look into providing food and drink to sell. Food vendors make the most at almost all shows because, as they say, everyone eats. The food can be as simple as chilled pop, some coffee with related bits, and pastries.

In this case you will need an adequate refrigerator to keep stuff fresh, possibly a microwave, to heat stuff and a couple of coffee pots or more. You will most likely need a food handlers permit to sell food. This amounts to passing a simple test and an up-front cost of about $300-$500 for most everything. A simple food vendor can make between $200 to over a kilobuck a day at a busy show.

On a larger scale, i know several food vendors who make several thousand per day per show, but they have a completely portable and full sized kitchen.

Anywho, my recommendation is to aim higher than selling $6 knives.

Best of luck!
