we do about 4 a yr.
The gross income ??? lmao ;D Some of the shows we have done we were happy to just break even.
By the time we travel to the show ( gas) stay at a hotel, pay for the space. and eat, it sometimes is not very profitable. This year has been very bad with people out of work, etc. They don't have money for a food and rent let alone a hobby. I love to do the shows and meet the people but as for making enough money to live on, nope that hasn't worked for us.
The best shows for us are the ones close to home where we don't have to spend money on hotels and food. Plus we save on the gas too.
I don't want to discouage anyone, just letting you know how its worked for us.
