I sell at a small town market in tax-free New Hampshire. We set up in the town square, a park-like area with a gazebo in the middle for entertainment staging. It's really quite nice, small, and friendly. I pay just $10 per year for membership, and $5 for the Saturday morning, 9-12. First market and last market of the season are free. I get about 15' frontage, with no depth specified, really; it depends on your particular space. Mine is limited by a monument, but I can park my van close to the monument, set up my 10' canopy behind it, and use the back of the van as needed for, well, whatever. The only real rules we have are that we must grow or create whatever we sell ourselves. I'm not going to get rich at such a small market, but it is fun, and, as I said, friendly, with very loyal and enthusiastic customers.
