Notes:

Keep in mind that you will need large pedestrian traffic to make it worth your while.

Be careful with special events that you meet the specific needs of that group of people in attendance at that event.

Keep an event log – record attendance (if known) and items sold. This will be valuable for planning for future events such as next year.
