Call for Artists, Making Money at Juried Art Fairs, Craft Shows and Festivals
Hello everyone! I'm new to AFI! I see you have a great classified and communications from fellow artisans to help out! I have been doing tent shows a long time. Opened my own gift shop 9 months ago and doing ok (slow due to winter here in MI). After going to the Michigan Renaissance Festival in Holly, MI a couple times last year I discovered a product that NO ONE is selling! SOOOO, I decided to join the festival this year (Aug. 18th to Sept. 30th). Unfortunately, I cannot use my 10x10 EZUP and will have to purchase a "canvas renaissance style tent". Can anyone give me any pointers, etc. experience with type, etc. you may have had in the past and/or let me know of anyone that may be selling a used one? I've found them from 600+ (+ shipping) from India so far that seem to be the best deal so far. Thanks for your input - much appreciated!

I sold the tent to a friend! Good luck with your shows!
Thank you for response. I ended up buying a round pavilion from Panther Primitives since it is "definately what they ask for". Glad your products are made in the USA - that's why I went with Panther. I'll keep you in mind when people ask for tents!
