Being Free at New Hampshire Craft Shows
New Hampshire has always been an independent state. Even before joining becoming part of the initial thirteen states that founded our nation, we have already broken off from the grip of Great Britain six months prior. Its people shares this independence to this day. We maintain, that we should “live free, or die trying”.
While the world has significantly settled down from the chaotic times in the past, we still believe in keeping our independence. Because of such, people from New Hampshire usually try their luck at business, like I have. I went out and tried to be an entrepreneur, and now I am my own boss. Craft shows gave me the opportunities I needed.
In this year alone, there are more than 200 fairs that will occur in our beloved state. You can be assured of three fairs, give or take a few, occurring on a weekly basis. And in each, you will have the opportunity to secure a booth so you can sell various items. Sell some craft wares, whether bought from another source wholesale or made by you, and see your business beginning.
In some cases, it is not a simple matter of going to the fair and selling your crafts. When you chance upon a judged fair, you will have to first prove that you are capable of holding your own. Your products will be scrutinized, and a portfolio of previous events that you have attended will be checked. It’s not easy to get a booth in these events, but if you get in, the quality control ensures more people will attend the event.
In times like these, where even finding a stable job is a challenge, and even in good times, personal and financial independence can’t be beat. By starting out at craft fairs and festivals you can be on your way to becoming your own boss.
