Does anyone do craft shows?

I'm going to put my bows up on a peg board. One whole wall in my booth will be pegboard. Haven't decided if it will be the back wall or the side wall. I put all my bows on bowcards and puched a whole in the top so that they can hang. I'm hoping this works.

Awesome tips, thanks so much for sharing!
I'm still trying to talk myself into doing a craft show.

What kind of bags did you end up using. I've been trying to decide between brown or white paper bags, or some cute plastic ones with handles that you can get on Ebay.

I use the white bags that you can get at sams. They're called t shirt bags. They say thank you on the front. They're just like walmart bags. Dunno how much they were. They've lasted me forever.

I just went up north this weekend (that's what we call going to the upper penninsula in Michigan) and made tons of bows. I do not have any turkeys or pumpkins made though. Good idea! Hopefully I will make some money and keep my sanity! I just got 2 students that I have to have 10 hours of the ACT test prep in with by 10/27 so.... I will be busy! Where do you get the turkey and pumpkin instructions?

Michelle has instructions for the pumpkin and turkey. Ask her.

Where do you find the craft shows?

Call your local chamber of commerce. Pay attention to the newspaper- in the local section they usually list them there. Also- any craft show/ farmers markets that are open weekly are good too. Don't forget flea markets!

I know this is an old thread, but for anyone looking into craft shows this year, I found this site

Art and Craft Shows, Festivals, Fairs, Expos, Concerts - Event Directory of 50,000 FREE Online Listings!

I found tons of shows in my area, maybe that will help other people to find shows. I haven't done any shows yet. Here we need to get a state sales tax license and I haven't figured out how to get one...lol Maybe I'll try and venture out into doing craft shows this year if I get a license.
