We've had vendors in the past and we charged them $75 for a high-profile 
location at our ride.  I did this because another ride in our area did it 
and I just followed their policy.  I'm trying to understand why charging a 
vendor fee is not an acceptable idea.  At the AERC convention, vendors have 
to pay a fair sum for the opportunity to sell their products, so why is it 
so onerous to charge a small sum for that opportunity at a ride?  Maybe $100 
is a bit steep, but I never had any vendor complain about paying $75 nor 
refuse to come because of it.  Someone please educate me.
