Well glad to hear that the other places are doing good. You have to experiment a little to see what works for you. Now you see the off-road site does so good. you'll know now to really stock up for that stuff. and bring some extra just in case. Good Luck with it. Put some pron up if ya find the time. Would love to see what it looks like.

We did Rouzerfest this past weekend and took a beating. Lots of people moving around, but not a lot of spending going on. We were at the same event last year and made money. Rouzerfest is not a huge event, but enough to keep my team busy.

Did much better on July 4th.

We did a Neil Diamond Tribute concert in the park last night. We sucked too. Made more in 1 hour at the market earlier in the day.

Vending is gambling. It takes a shrewd player to make a go of it. We lose money vending much of the time, but I know a few guys like Gary of Governor's BBQ who have figured out how to make it pay consistently. Finding one of these vending pros and asking their advice is a one of the best things you can do, and many will be happy to help if you promise not to vend the same events they do.
