This is probably the most popular lamp out there for shows...... http://www.staples.com/Black-Clamp-O...P1544:CL161817
I love ARS displays. They are fair priced and look great. Plus the cases are built better than anyone else I have ever seen. The few small problems they had have been fixed with the newer displays.
Other than that make sure to have a tablecloth, some business cards, and hand sanitizer out. Other things to add would be a banner, some pictures of your best animals (or slide show on monitor), maybe some pens with the business name so customers can jot down info on your card like interesting animals etc., anything else you want to sell..... I like to throw out some old Reptiles Mags for a few bucks. They are colorful and get people to stop for a second to look and give you a chance to be friendly and offer to show them something.
Most importantly make sure to have a smile front and center and be available to talk. I've seen plenty of grumpy vendors and it makes it really hard to want to talk to them about anything, even buying their animals.
Now the real fun is making sure you have everything for behind the table as well..... that's the part anyone doing a show the first time has no idea about....
