🎪 What's your Art Fair horror story others can learn from?

I have no horror story per se, but I've run a booth at a few fairs and respect to people who do them because they are exhausting.

Just in a different way.... I remember well when I was in the north of Germany. Also it was summer it was outside. And at the coast are so much windy. All my tents started to jumping in the air - and I hang on it. During I needed to see how all my art stuff falls and blown the way.
I never thought about what could happen by side to sell it. So luckily there was no big damage. But if? I think we never get there an insurance for this.

Such a great question! Mine was a sudden downpour that soaked half my prints before I could get them covered — learned the hard way to always have heavy-duty plastic sheeting on hand. Would love to hear what others have been through!

I was accepted into one and found out it might be cancelled. There are others. I hope it will go on.
