This time of the year there are lots and lots of craft shows to attend. If you stick close to home you can double or even triple up on your shows by staying close to home. When you attend local shows, you eliminate lodging expenses and reduce fuel costs. By paying for more booth fees, but staying close to home, you can attend more shows for less money. Also, keep in mind that many shows will allow you to have someone else watch your booth for you. This way you can get a friend or family member to help you attend more than one show a weekend.
