Alan, I'd direct you to the Artist Supply Warehouse website and suggest that you all might find one of these set ups functional:

Not that buying them from ASW would be economical because the shipping might be too $$$, but these jobs have a whole set of accessories that make them work. It seems to me that most of the pop up canopies of this type that you can find almost anywhere are that 10X10 dimension so a canopy itself might be cheaper at a home improvement store but all of the canopies that I've ever seen at a home improvement had plastic tarp material and not the polyester that the "art fair" ones have...also you can get the matching walls with these. A lot of the major chain art supply stores handle these locally or - better still - don't any of you have an artist friend who does the art fair circuit and who could lend one of these set-ups to you?

Just a thought in case it's worth the investment. I've gone through several inexpensive canopies and it's worth it just to cut to the chase and get one that's worth it.

It just occurred to me that Sportsman's Guide might be a resource as well:
