This may be a dumb question, but what are rack cards?
 
Not so dumb to me. I have no idea what a rack card is either. Please fill us in.

Ummm... it's a card that's pretty much the size of a standard envelope and it would usually be printed the tall way... and it stands in one of those racks people have on tables and things in their store..

sort of like a quick blurb...

this is the one from Vista

it doesn't open, so I wouldn't call it a brochure... but that probably would have been the best way for me to explain it... LOL
duh Lindsay!
 
Ohhhh...never heard of it called that. Actually, not sure I have even seen one. I guess I should get out a little more. My DH would disagree though. lol

So where are you putting them at your fair? Do you have a rack? Not sure what to put on them though. They are kinda long for a recipe. But it might work.

I had to laugh at that question.:D
 
I was going to make some. I was going to list my name and contact info, with a listing of all the services we provide. There is a cute design with a red border and kitchen tools. But it requires an upload of an image for the back side, and even if I wanted to do that, I don't have anything I could use.
