Bob & Company...can you apply (or have you already) with J&P Cycles as an "Affiliate"? It might help get them to come to the rally. You post a link to J&P on the website, and they work with you for the rally. Just an idea. Rocket

Good Idea Rocket!

Good for you!  I don't like going there but where we live, our choices are limited.  Life in a small town. :) 

hey but spirit, you have the privilidge of living in a small town without the hussle and bussle of larger cities...there is more than the choices of places you have to shop at

I just found a pair at Dollar World for $1.99....they are actually better than the ones I bought last year at ROT.

so many vendors with alot of the same items, i know there is no way to control....my wife left all of her shorts at home, tried to buy some at rally vendors but couldn't find....maybe someone needs to have a space that sells items that could be left at home.....women shorts, sandals, collapsible icechests, koozies, more selections of belts

Someone is missing out on a chance to make quite a bit of money: There was no ICE CREAM vendors, at least not that I I saw at least. As anyone who was there would readily attest it was hot as thunder out there, and a sundae or a cone would have been just the ticket and I'd have been a regular customer!

 

One other thing I noticed- some of the vendors did a good job of this, others- well not so- but display prices a little more prominently.

The first ROT I attended had a booth like that.  She even had the asprin and alergy meds that I was looking for.  Her prices were fair to.  I hope she did well $$ wise, booth fee at ROT is kinda high but so is attendence and customer traffic.  If ya have what they want they will purchase it!

mmmmmmmm, lets go to the board room

Dont get my little mind going about it, lol.  I know where to get the stuff and I know where to get it whole sale, even have the tax ID to do it with.  I use to do the festivals and craft shows for a living until the economy took a dump a few years ago.  My e z up (tent) and walls are now used for the pool I take to ROT, lol.

how much is it for a vendor to rent space at ROT

Spirit, Do you have any information on the vendors attending this year? If you look on the vendor map, there are alot of empty vendor spaces still available. Are the vendors being hesitant to commit?

Sorry, PapaWeelie, other than the vendor map is never full this early, I know nothing about the rally vendors.  I know who to refer you to if you want to be a vendor.  Would that help? :D
