bonsaiTALK Community - View Single Post - Vendors at a show or no vendors???

Going to shows for years I always looked forward to seeing what was for sale in the vendors area, always looking forward to seeing what was for sale.

One year I became one, yes I became a vendor, it was hard work to haul all the stuff there and then set it up and especially not quite knowing what to bring.
Dealing with all the questions for two days, answering each and every one.

Then at the end of the show breaking it all down and packing up what didn't sell, which really wasn't much, the fixtures all had to be broken down and loaded on the truck.

Hauling it home and feeling like "I never want to do that again" but the next day when all the aches and pains were soothed I realized that it was all worth it.

All the interested and interesting people I had spoken with and new friends I made had really made it worth while.
I immediately started looking to next year. Yes vendors are the way to go at the bonsai shows.
