All my fairs have cancelled. I have lost tens of thousands of dollars. As the President says, it is not the fault of those of us that work for a living...
We had some money to get down and start our fairs. After bills, we will have around $40 a week to live on for the next three month. That means no gasoline to get to the store in town miles away. That means no other ordering of products, etc.
Now we can do it. But it would be pretty tough as some of our summer events would have gotten paid for from our spring fairs that no longer.
We could use the cash. It would provide some breathing room.
But here is the rub. We expect the remainder of the fair season to be one half of average as no one has any money...That means a spiral of declining business, trying to live through the winter to the next spring.
Its a tough one.
Spend the money and have the US mail deliver food boxes to US addresses. Non-perishable stuff.
You do the fair circuits? One of my aunt/uncle sets used to to the fair circuit in the PNW. Kettle Korn. They got too old in 2010 and sold up. Made a decent living at it for 15 years before then.
