Don,In Ohio the fliers for the shows will read " "train show" or "swap meet" for regular train shows like you would find at fairgrounds,in a school gym or a rented building.The hosting organization will need to rent the building ,extra tables and in some cases chairs..Insurance will be needed as well.Either the local 4H club,High School band boosters or a caterer will be needed as well for the snack bar.Food will need to be provided for boosters or 4H club.The Bucyrus club saved money by having a local caterer run the snack bar at our show.
Now,even at a modest $25.00 4 tables will cost $100.00,plus transportation, the motel room and food.
A high risk for any dealer seeing he will need to clear his costs before he sees a profit..Of course a good day can net over $1,000 and have a bad day then you leave the show in the red.
