    Karen, 	Congradulations on your show! I did an unpowered outdoor show
    a few years ago and I used a car battery and low watt halogen bulbs.
    Some people use a larger marine battery. I had about 100 watts of
    light (20 watts per case (4) plus 20 watts by the mirror). My
    battery lasted for a full day but I had to take it home and recharge
    it at night for the next day. 

    As for credit cards, I used a cell phone to dial in the
    authorization. I used a headset so it was easier to listen and punch
    the numbers. Actually, I mostly had my partner do the authorizations
    while I dealt with the customers. It worked out fine. 

good luck!
