jay, I posted a thread several days ago about the very same thing. Several years ago,maybe eight or nine years ago, I bought three benches at Gibtown to place in front or near my inflatibles for the kids to take off and put on their shoes. Trouble was, everyone but the kids sat on the benches. I still carry the three benches, but I bought plastic kiddie chairs for the kids. I place the benches around the other pieces. I don't think with a festival unit as mine, that it has helps to increase revenue. As I said in my earlier thread, I don't think carnivals need to try and play the part of amusement parks. It's hard enough to keep your pieces clean and attractive, keep your help in clean attire, and keep the bills paid to add the cost of another load of benches, tents and plants around week after week.
