Obviously I have been posting numerous things getting ready for this. Although I have lived my entire life around the rally, I have never attempted to have a booth at the rally. An opportunity came up this year to do a booth at the Buffalo Chip Campground. For those who are familiar with the rally, the Buffalo Chip is the largest single venue at the rally. It's estimated that 60% of the people who come pass through there at some point during the event. The number of peopleeexpected this year is between 500,000 and 700,000. Obviously most of my work will not fit on a motorcycle. The majority now drive RVs or pickups and haul their bikes in. So I have some hope that there will be buyers for my items.
The numbers, booth rent is $1600 and the vendor licence is $450. Big risk for me. But next year is the 75th annual and they are expecting one million people. So figure it out this year for next year. I will post pictures throughout the week on the sights at the rally (I will keep them family friendly). Also I will let you know if if it's good or bad for me. Fingers crossed going in.

Looks like you are going on a new adventure. I will keep you in my thoughts and look forward to reading and seeing something I will probably never get to experience. Take good notes each night as you go to bed on everything so that you are as prepared as you can be next year!

I for one am looking forward to your posts from the rally.
I know that your family here at LJ's will be cheering you on and we all hope that you do well at Sturgis.

With your wonderful craftsmanship on your woodworking projects, I'm sure you'll profit nicely. Keep notes on what biker's appeals are and prepare for next year. Your work is always VERY wonderfully constructed; make 'em pay the price, and if shipping is necessary please don't loose on it to make a sale.

My thoughts are with you. Financial risk, and hopefully reward.
Have any security measures? I remember you got ripped off awhile back.
"Get your motor runnin." "Get out on that highway!" "Looking for adventure, in whatever comes my way!" Like a true natures child you were born to be wild!

lots of luck to you Monte, you will have to build up quite an inventory to last a week. I have heard it said that you can expect to get about 1% of the people at a craft show to buy from you, so that could be a $10,000 week for you.

I WISH YOU GOOD LUCK MONTE, i think the worst thing that could happen is if you sell out before the show is over, i think your mugs will be a big hit..yes sir…maybe you could set your saw up there and make mugs while someone takes in the cash for sold items..

Good luck, Monte. Should be a good opportunity with all the doctors, lawyers and other folks with disposable income running around. I bet your stuff will be very popular. Hope you have enough business cards to hand out and gather up some future orders, as well.
Sturgis is actually pretty tame, at least during the day. The hard core bikers are far outnumbered by white collar professionals who now own Harleys and want to take a week to play biker. I went to college at Chadron, NE (about two hours from Sturgis and on the main route for all bikers coming from anywhere south and east) and Sturgis week was always full of loud bikes, roads clogged with RV's and lots of people wanting to spend money.

Day 1 was lethargic for everyone. An estimated 100,000 bikers rolled in yesterday, but nobody was spending any money. Weather is nearly perfect for the event. It's supposed to stay in the mid 80s with minimal chance of rain.
Booth looks a little better this morning
Although the Buffalo Chip Campground is designed to be a very Comercial venture, I want also give them credit for honoring vetrans,
Other things sponsors bring, yes Budwiser is a sponsor
