The coolest idea seemed very simple. Do your own show but call it a "cooking Class" with a theme or recipe in mind. Charge $25 to be in it, (give them a credit at the show to spend) and tell them all I have left is 8 slots and they are going fast! The consultants said the class fill up like crazy!!
