Need advice

Hi everyone,

I need some advice. I have an opportunity to have a henna "booth" (I
use the term loosely) at an upcoming Indian Teeyan women's festival.
An Indian friend of mine recommended me to the organizer of the
event, and she contacted me.

Here's the skinny: It's going to be from 1pm to 7pm at a local
elementary school. I have absolutely no idea how many people are
going to be there... but... it's at an elementary school. The
organizer told me that last year they had one artist and the henna
was so popular that many women weren't able to have any, so this year
they want to have 5/6 booths. Yep, 5 or 6. At an elementary school.
The booth fee would be $50.

I think this would be a REALLY fun event to do henna at. But besides
the obvious worry that 5 or 6 booths seems like way too many, I'm
also WHITE. I think it's highly probable that people will pass up
the white girl's booth in favor of someone closer to their own
ethicity.

So my question for all you wonderful, supportive henna people is: Do
you think this would be worth it? Would you do it?

Thanks so much!!!

Jeanie
