There seems to be so much money to be made at county fairs...thought people would offer advice to members about products they sell at the county fair.  I mean as an exhibitor I'm at the fair all the time, might as well make a few bucks!! Thanks for the ideas.

If it's hot cheap drinks (like one dollar bottle sodas) will sell like hotcakes.  It's usually the fair board letting you sell that is the problem.  (pop)

Our 4-H club did things like Betsy Bingo or Duck Drop to make money. Sell so many squares, put the animal in and where it poops, that person wins. Split the $$ 50/50. It was very popular when we did it.

I made a ton of money one year selling those knockoff sunglasses of oakley

You used to be able to buy them for around $2.50 and I would sell them for $20

I think it might be illegal though

We also do it every year, We just make the bingo card on the grass with spray paint, and set up panels and let them stand for awhile. We normally have about 10 games going at once.
