My current plan is to find some shows within a day's driving distance from home (I would plan an overnight stay on a two-day show).

I figure that there is a learning curve to this but I eventually want to do the two big shows in Coconut Grove, Florida and Cherry Creek, Colorado.

I have a friend who made a nice living just doing two major shows a year. One was Florida and the other was near NYC (don't know the name). He did this for years and managed to send both his children through college from the proceeds. Now he doesn't bother with shows, has a following and his clients come to him.
