I suggest taking a lot of business cards to pass out. This a great place to make contacts and promote your business to a large variety of people at once. .....JB

Well, let us all know how it went. I'm not certain of when you had this planned, but I'd still like to hear about it. Will this only be only for embroidery or will other crafts/gifts be included as well?

I am not real sure on the other prombles as well but now i know to look in to the Show/ or fair better before driving 300 miles to go to one. i learned alot.
