    Any show with a beer garden or rock band. Almost any show that
    doesn't have a list of excluded mediums on the application (t-shirts,
    dried flowers etc.) 

    I once did the #1 show for the year in sunshine artist (a borrowed
    copy and I never listened again). I did $1200 in 4 days after
    traveling to another state. They opened a new area the day of the
    show and all these "artists" who knew they do this were standing
    there waiting to set up 1 hour before the show started. Hard to
    compete with sand art, sawdust jewelry and painted t-shirts on the
    next block. I was one of the lucky ones in my row with even $1200 in
    sales. I can't remember the name but it was outside of Detroit in a
    suburb to the Southwest. 

    Karen, who prefers shows with awards and judges that have name 
    recognition.
