I think most established show people already have their favorites for bow purchases. And, unless you are offering something that is totally new, different and out of this world gorgeous, you won't have many sales.

But, don't give up - attend the dog show and see what the other vendors offer. That will give you a better idea of what you might offer at the next show to be competitive.

If you still want to go through with this, I would recommend setting upon Sat. Not only will you have most of the show people there, but also the general public is more likely to attend on a Sat.

Post some pictures of your bows - I would love to see them!

Good points. Also by going to the show you might strike up a conversation with some of the retailers who might be willing to sell your bows on consignment. And as I am sometimes a scatter brain ditzy exhibitor I have gone to a show and forgot my bows at home!!! Ended up borrowing one from a kind exhibitor. So if you had been there that day you would have gotten a sale from me!
