[TheForge] Demonstration and Pricing

[Peter Hirst]

I was pleasantly surprised yesterday by an invitation to demonstrate at the spring festival on a sheep farm near here. So surprised, in fact, that when I was asked how much I charged, I had no response. Well, other than, " doh, whatever you usually pay I'm sure will be fine . . ." I was perfectly prepared to just show up, set up, heat it up and sell what I could. Then they started talking about what kind of tent they should buy for me and a zillion other amenities I didn't expect. Now, without getting into an actionable conspiracy here, or intruding on trade secrets, can I get any guidance on how to determine what one should resonably ask? 

This is a one-day event at a small sheep farm,(well, its 22 acres, a couple dozen or so sheep)  non-profit owner. There will be working dogs, assorted farm animals, sheep shearing, a dozen or so weaver/spinners, hayride, a thousand or so visitors. No admission charge. Good cause, but a good opportunity too?

Thanks for any guidance.
