"which seems to be the prevailing belief among most vendors."

I don't think they all make a lot but would guess some do.
BUT do you think $400.00 is too much as a fee to vend all weekend at say Hukilau?

Some, a very few, get a free ride as in tickets and room maybe a plane ticket if you are somebody they really want to an event.

But Joe schmoe vendor has to pay lots to stay at the event/tickets, booth fee, food, gas, costs of goods heck you don't have much time if any to enjoy the event as you are part of the attraction as a vendor.

But if it gets too costly and not worth it the good vendors will dry up and you will be stuck with people selling Hot Sauces.

THAT"S when the vendor prices will drop.
