Answer 1

Answer 2

No, I don't think you will get in any trouble at all. Was there anything on the application that asked if you were above a certain age? If not, you should be fine.  Either way, have somebody over 18 there with you, just in case.

Answer 3

What is "halfto" and "hings?"

Answer 4

look at the paperwork if any that came with the fee on the table. search for anything that says 18 and older. Dont your parents know you are doing this? the coordinator would be able to answer the age question as well.

Answer 5

You need to contact whoever is running it to find out.

Answer 6

No you shouldn't get in trouble but contact the organisers to find out.

Also if you could go to http://www.lincraft.com.au/mic_voting.ph... and vote for Carly Costello "Quilling the Alphabet" that would be much appreciated!

Answer 7

You need to have at least a parent who will be willing to back you up if any sort of trouble arises.  You need to be able to honestly say "My mom is not here but will be back soon" type of back up.

Small shows probably will never check your age, what you do with your cash earned etc...  

Larger shows you may heed this info.

The legal aspects are:

Some City/State require a Sellers ID# permit, as a way to prove you are paying your taxes, a 1099 income tax form or like tax form, has to be turned in by an legal adult.  Perhaps even other legal documents if you earn big dollars.

Have I sold and not reported cash income?  Maybe?  Many have, and do do this.

hope it helps.

Have one of your parents or an older friend there with you just incase. But you shouldn't get in any trouble. There was a craft fair here recently where everything was made by the kids in a youth group.
