Just $200 at the Farmers Market.  It is only a few hours long.   Our main 
sale was the mall where we made several thousand.  Part of our  goal at the 
Farmers Market was to funnel people towards the mall where they can  shop in 
air-conditioning comfort. 
 
Pictures really sell an iris.  I am the picture lady for my  club.  I find 
the best pictures and add hybridizer, year introduced, type,  awards, etc to 
the picture using Corel Draw.  Plus I will add if  it reblooms in this 
area.  Walgreens sometimes has great photo prices if  you do more than 50.

Scarlett, you mean $200 or $2000?

We usually sell around  $2000 counting a few at our show, plus the main 
Univ. Tenn. sale.   Help motivate members to grow, donate, and work the 
sales by paying for  AIS membership for those who do.

<We tried selling at the Farmers  market.  It is  the top Farmers market in
the country.  We  made around $200, >

The years we've managed to talk the newspaper  into running a photo 
article have been the years with the biggest  sales.
