Thanks Barbara. I love Holly's suggestion about the phone number on the back of name tags...we have decided to use that suggestion.

Both of my shows have volunteers who continuously make the rounds to relieve artists when they need a break. They are identified as volunteers with name tags. Volunteer booth sitters do not sell. They are there to protect the booth while the artist…

I love the idea about being able to get singles. That has happened to me and in one show my neighbor kept borrowing singles from me which put me low.

2 systems I have seen used: one where you sign up in advance for which time slots you want (can sign up at check-in or the morning of each day at the…
