We too have some town events in which I could make a few extra bucks.
And during Christmas/New-Year shopping season, the local mall attacts
folks from 100 miles away - very large parking lot. Might make a few
bucks on weekends.  Problem is getting business license, insurance,
etc.  That's the tricky part.  And since I wouldn't be doing it
fulltime, would probably make a partime business not profitable.

I've been researching a human powered urban cargo vehicle - hpucv.  I'd
like to have a trike configuration with track less than 36 inches wide
(that's the urban part - sharing roads with motor vehicles), and that
could haul 350# including me.  Also, seating has to be recumbent
design.  Most cargo vehicles are too wide (industrial/commercial
design).  I've found some good candidates at Lightfoot Cycles and Human
Powered Machines in the U.S.  Any other pointers will be appreciated.
