At the Boca Museum Show there is a side street where booths are, and IMO this area gets much less traffic. There are also some booths off the main street near the artist parking that didn't seem like a great location. …

Here's a previous post on this subject. We run LED lights for 11 hours on our battery. http://www.artfairinsiders.com/forum/topics/lighting-setup-from-a-deep

Wow. That's huge considering you were also running fans. Thanks for the tip.

I bought my marine battery and inverter at Walmart. We ran 2 lights, credit card machine and 2 fans all day and the battery was still at 90% when we plugged it in to recharge. We will take it to Auto Zone or an auto supply store to…

I've heard that the marine batteries only last for about 3 hours, plus or minus. Is that true, or is there a battery that will last throughout a 10-hour show day and can be re-charged in time for the next day?

Diane Wright replied to Lisa Ben-Zeev's discussion 'Any suggestions for where to buy inexpensive battery operated lights?'

I went to Batteries plus and bought the battery and the inverter. I was able to run my lights and cc machine. It is better than trying to use battery operated lights which are not very bright.

Lisa - you're better off figuring out how to use a deep cycle marine battery to power your low wattage lights, we tried using battery operated lights and the cost of batteries sent us in the direction of the marine deep cycle battery after 2-3…

Thanks everyone for the opinions. So will I still be able to drive up to my booth location if I get there at 5:30 AM or is that too late? there is no electricity provided what do you do for lighting once it stars getting dark? I will not have a…

I think the earliest you can start setup at Boca is 2AM. I did that and it worked out very well. It gets very congested later on.

Jim Parker replied to Lisa Ben-Zeev's discussion 'Anyone know if booth 160 for Boca museum show is on the interior or exterior loop?'

I would set up earlier rather than later at Boca. It can get congested the later you wait. Trimline definitely. Starbucks is on the ocean side of the park (east). You should be in a pretty good spot.

I'm not doing Boca. My first Florida show is Ft Myers which is a week later. Use your Trimline.

Wind can be awful at Boca depending on which side you are on and which way the wind is blowing. I saw more tents collapse there than any other show I've done. You are in between two rows of buildings. The wind comes over one…

What do you think of my Grove location? What about set-up at Boca and my tent dilemma? Thanks for advising me.

Barry Bernstein replied to Lisa Ben-Zeev's discussion 'Anyone know if booth 160 for Boca museum show is on the interior or exterior loop?'

You have a good space at Boca. On the other hand, they all are the same. It's just one street in an elongated U. I haven't seen the map for the Grove but I think I am still on Bayshore. Booth 64.
