How best to handle payment at shows

[brandon H]

Hi again,

I am doing my first show in october, my main concern is how to handle payment.

I know cash is best but some of my more expensive might prompt a check...

Personal checks ok? Extra fee? Information to write down?

Things someone like me who is doing their first show probably hasn't thought of yet?

Another question, at home a shade tree is not convenient, I am afraid my wood/charcoal forge may damage a tentlike shade that I have and a permanent shed is not possible in the area. Must be presentable. any ideas?

thanks as always

Brandon
