    I am with a Farmers Market. We begin the weekend of Mothers Day and
    end in mid October. We have a standard core of regulars (there the
    entire time everyday) for all are told you must stay the entire time
    and no packing up until after the closing time. Those that have only
    chosen 5 dates or small packages and are caught packing up early
    because of a slow day are told not to come back and are only given a
    50%REFUND Our rules are strict but fair. We have vendors who sell
    out early but they remain there until the end and they usually wander
    around talking to everyone else. I guess the regular vendors become
    like a family we support each other. I had one vendor beside me last
    saturday who had not sold anything (except to me) until 11:30 and
    then all of a sudden he was having to take orders as he had nothing
    left. Sometimes it just takes awhile for people to come outside. You
    just have to be patient. I have had extemely bad days where I have
    not sold anything and even at that had two rings stolen from me
    (talk about a slap in the face) but the next day pulled in over
    500.00. You just never know.
