Craft Fair In Idaho Falls or Rigby ID

[Former_Member]

I have been looking into craft fairs in these areas. I do live in Rigby ID. Every craft fairs I am interested in to get a vendor booth is so much money. With my husband's light paycheck and on food stamps. I am not able to afford the price of a vendor booth. Do you might have any ideas I can do with a vendor booth is lease $45?

I don't know, but maybe you can find a local school that is hosting one for a fundraiser?

I helped with a fundraiser for one my daughter's teachers in March. I didn't have to pay for a booth. I also didn't get any money from the sales of my crocheted items. My daughter told me all of my crocheted items where gone.

The fundraisers I've participated in I paid for a booth and manned it myself. I got to keep what I earned. The fundraiser part was what the school got for the booth fee.

to be honest, if funds are that tight, I'd scale back. Because craft shows are a gamble and if you are on food stamps then I'd not want to risk what money I have. I've spent hundreds of dollars on a show (back when I was new) and lost money. Now, I know what shows and I make a lot, but I've been doing them a long time AND I have a product that is used up and needs to be purchased again.

I'd do the low/no cost things. And to give away your items for a fundraiser is very kind, but again, something I'd only consider doing out of my excess.

Just a suggestion.

I agree. I do auctions on Facebook. The last auction was really bad. I don't if I will do those again.

[CoquetteBath]

Facebook is a waste of my time, honestly.

if you want to do an auction, you could consider eBay. But I never shop there, myself.

[Former_Member]

I actually do have items on eBay. Nothing has came from that. Yes I do shop with eBay myself.
