Default I concur but with a little more....

I agree with the Civil War costume - whether it be you or someone else dressed in it....but the person doesn't stand within the booth, but out in front a bit into the walkway and the person is handing the ballots out for the draw.

Don't ASK them if they want one, or if they would like to win a free meal...TELL them....

Hand them the ballot - "15 seconds could get you a fantastic 3 course meal FREE in beautiful Munfordville". Also have a pocketful of suckers for the kids - giving a kid a sucker has a positive effect on the parents...just make sure to ask the parent first if the kids can have a sucker (allergies, etc..) In this case an old fashioned side pack like the soldiers used to carry could house the suckers.

Also hand them the brochure.

Naturally some will decline the ballot, but they will walk away with the brochure.

In my experience with fairs, flea markets and similar shows - if you wait for the people to come in and look, that's what you will be doing - waiting. Grab them and give them a reason to walk over to your booth.

Unfortunately a lot of these venues are becoming more structured and won't allow vendors in the walkway....then it requires some extra creativity to get the people in.

Just thoughts.
