Call for Artists, Making Money at Juried Art Fairs, Craft Shows and Festivals

Did anyone here do this show last year and if so, how did you do and what do you think the price point/crowd expectations were?
Thanks!

I did this show 2 years ago and was very disappointed.  There is no many buy/sell people there and it seemed the crowd was more interested in the inexpensive things.  I had a good spot too just a few doors down from the cheesecake on a stick.  I will not do it again but maybe you would do better.

Up until this last weekend, my 1 time experience at Warren's Cranberry Fest was my "biggest loss at 1 show" story. It's an insane load in and out situation! The buyers come there for PVC marshmellow guns and any other $5.00 item. I finally left on Sat. after the show ended for the day and after paying the booth fee, renting a cabin (45 minute drive) nearby, paying 2 helpers, gas and food I only lost $800.00 on the deal.

I will never do it again. I also don't know any other ARTISTS who do the show anymore. All of the stories I've heard about the artists making big money at that show are from the 1990's.
