Swap Meet and Festival Work

Helping Swap Meet and Festival Vendors
by: Coleen, the RVing editor

One company that hires people to tend fireworks stands is TNT Fireworks. They sometimes run ads our Jobs Listings pages.

Along the same lines as working fireworks stands in June and July, companies also hire RVers to tend pumpkin patches in the fall, Christmas tree lots in November and December, and bedding plants and hanging flower baskets in the spring.

When I think of fireworks stands, pumpkin patches, tree lots, and similar vending situations, I think of independent sales locations, rather than being part of a fair or festival. However, I guess that is not always the case.

I don't know of a particular source that lists vendors who are looking for people to help them with their swap meet or festival booths.

I do know that a lot of vendors would be glad to have help. Depending on the type of merchandise and the display, setting up and tearing down can be a lot of work. Also, some booths require more than one person be there at a time. And, sometimes, it is nice to just have someone work a shift to give the vendor a break.

I hear from RVers who want to sell at craft shows, holiday bazaars, and flea markets, but they are not physically able to do the loading and unloading and setting up and tearing down of the booth. Those in the commercial buildings at fairs may need assistance, also. You might post an ad offering your services.

Another suggestion is to contact the owner or the organization that is sponsoring the market or festival. They may be able to tell you if they have vendors with large set-ups who are looking for help. They may also have other job leads for you.

Who else can chime in here with suggestions?
