Default Local model car show offers free booths!

A local model car show, the types that people race, is offering free booths. Does anyone have an idea of designs to take to this?

Like Remote Controlled cars? I would think any kind of R/C or hobby related designs would do well.

Yeah, R/C cars, at least I think. I am looking at the flyer and it isn't real clear. Maybe it is models also. The flyer says "Car Show & Model Car Show", "Themes: Drag Race and Import Tuner"

I would guess just about any kind of car stuff that is drag or tuner might work.

Got any suggestions on stock vector art?

Hmmm...from the title of the flyer, it almost sounds like an "actual" car show (like full size cars).

Default Re: Local model car show offers free booths!

Ok, This is interesting. There is a combination model car show and real car show. The model show is indoors and the real car show is outdoors. The real car show has one guy running the vendors and charges for booth space and the indoor part has another guy running it and it is free!

Holy cow! I would be the only guy running a t-shirt booth indoors but there are t-shirt guys outside.

But wait! It gets better! The event is to benefit a school music program. Why is this important? Well, we just happen to work with non-profits to do fundraisers with our products. Except for the cost of my time/transportation/and a few shirts this looks like it might be a winner for us down the road.

Now, I just need to figure out some transfers and shirt sizes and amounts and I am ready to go!

What is the attendance? I would step back and look at this event from every angle twice.

I did not go. I had something else come up. From what I found out, the event had two parts. One was an outdoor show which got most of the traffic. The other was the indoor show which might get 200 people to come through. That was the free one to put up a table. It was also 70 miles from us so a little bit of a jog to get there.
