I don't think so.
The reason why the smaller hamfest are declining is that you need to
volunteer your time to keep them going.

Has anyone ever considered that our XYLs also enjoy attending hamfests.
My wife enjoys accompanying me to hamfests because of the variety of
items
for sale that are non-ham related. Many ladies, as you know, are not
interested in rummaging through a box of old tubes or drooling over some
old
boatanchor.
Then take her to the neighborhood flea market or yard sales. Hamfests
are R-A-D-I-O and related technology events, not a church rummage
sale.
We've considered it, and decided that this kind of junk is one of the
leading contributing factors to attendance declining at hamfests.
There are junk sales and flea markets every weekend, somewhere. Not so
for hamfests.
