I love Bonnaroo, I live about 45 minutes away from Manchester. I bought my first hoop at a convention. I believe that those types of environments are the best for it. It's a perfect place and time to buy a hoop because you can immediately have fun and use it, and having all the bands with great music to hoop to is a huge bonus. Plus, with the other advanced hoopers, people get excited about the potential and are encouraged to start. I would totally recommend setting up a vendor booth, hoops are so much fun and that's why people go to fests in the first place.

Thanks everyone, I think it will be too much to handle this year, just wish they didn't charge soooo much $$$ for handcrafted spaces.

In my experience, a lot of people buy their first hoop at a music festival. There will be lots of hoopers around, and lots of people who see them and want to try it for themselves. The only concern that I would have is that you will be competing with a lot of walking, unofficial vendors. You would definitely sell a lot, though.

i purchased my first hoop at b-roo in 2004- so memorable! i have gone around 4 times,, including the last 2 years. kanye very bad, but dave mathews this year- so hopefully a nice crowd. never noticed anyone 'vending' hoops, so i think it's a good move if you do! b-roo needs more hoopers!

i havent been in a few years, but it seems like the vibe has changed dramatically in the past 2 or so events theyve had... you might be better off at camp bisco or something, for some reason i can see more hoopers going to a thievery show then a kanye west one

I've been to the festival, it's a great place for vending. I feel like it would definitely be worth the trouble because I spent a load of money buying from vendors(I love handmade items). And there will be tons of hooping folk there.

If you have attended Bonnaroo in the past, would you recommend going to this event as a vendor. I am considering applying to this event, but it is alot of upfront money. Any thoughts and have you seen other hoop related vendors there. I am going to have other misc. items but hoops would be the main product. Thanks, Lois
