Did you split the cost of the booth? Did you have any of your own
equiptment ie..chairs, tent..ect..? If you did, then you should have
pooled the money, payed 15% to the assistant,(less the cost of the
booth)put the booth money back in and split THAT total in half. Just
my opinion. I was offered a deal like that and wouldn't accept it.
They wanted me to pay for half the booth (they had one of the larger
ones) AND give them 30%. I called vendor info on that fair and found
it would be cheaper to rent my own smaller booth and I wouldn't have
to pay anyone 30%. And there were plenty available. What were they
thinking!! One of the great things about doing henna is that you are
your own boss. You should find your own fairs to do, and take your
sister with you to be your assistant. Pay her a chunk (like 15%) and
keep the rest. I personally prefer to work my own fairs. It's a good
to go do your own stuff anyways.
