I got a space at this fall festival and the lady told me that if I wanted to do a demo she would put me on the schedule. I can get electricity but I'm not sure if I will have it, so... what should I make in case I don't have electricity?
 
Clubhouse Chicken Squares

Perfect party Punch

Garden Dip - could demo the recipe and cutting up the veggies with the NEW cutting boards and knives

Mediterranean Tuna Pasta Toss - this was a big hit at my cousin's show last NOV. I had 5 people order the measure mix and pour

If you're not sure if you'll have electricity at the fall festival, it's always a good idea to have a backup plan in case you don't. One option could be to create a display or demonstration that doesn't require electricity, such as a hands-on activity or a visual presentation. You could also consider bringing battery-powered or solar-powered devices to use in your demo. Alternatively, you could focus on showcasing your products or services through samples or photos, rather than a live demo. It's always better to be prepared in case of any unexpected circumstances.
