Is there any interest in chipping in for a community vendor spot?
Gimp and I were discussing this last week. In past years, (Evansville, IN 2009 and Dayton, OH 2011) we have purchased a couple of outdoor vending spots together. We would serve as a Steel Soldiers gathering spot. If you had an item or two to sell you could display it at our spot. If you had several items, you could chip in some bucks for the fees.
At the back of the vendor spaces we would keep a cooler and folding chairs. Everyone was welcome to take a seat and hangout.

However, this year the pricing for the trailer spots has increased dramatically ( likely due to the fact our normal outdoor spots are not offered).
A 10' x 20' inside spot is $230. Two spots would be $460 (That is the ordinary MVPA member price. An associate member (advertiser) is lower and non-members are higher).

I would be glad to put the money up front and make reservations for a spot or hopefully two. I would need some commitment from a handful of guys willing to split it up.
I only have a few things to sell, and I will likely set up my stencil machine.
I have been chatting with MWMULES Dave and he has reserved a trailer spot already. Maybe we can coordinate and get an adjacent spot with him, or others to increase the comradery
What do you all say?
