Thinking about getting a table as a vendor but wondering how beneficial it would be to a small company like mine. It's only about a 4 hr drive from where we are in Syracuse, NY... Has anybody on here gone as a vendor? How are the on-site sales? Thanks!

I think I'm going for at least two of the days!
