I think competition is the American way. Nobody should be upset if they go to an event and another vendor shows up selling the same thing. There is enough wealth in this world to go around. The government hates monopolies, so do I. If you do enough events you will have successes and failures. Nobody should feel that they own an event, because they have done it for 20 years. Count that as a blessing and know that everyone can be easily replaced. Learn from you competition but don't hate them. You could be out of the vendor field tomorrow, but events will still go on and happen without you. Good luck to all my competition, I wish you well and hope you do the same for me.
