, as a Pampered Chef consultant, you are considered a business owner. However, each state and locality has different requirements for permits and licenses for selling at arts and crafts fairs. I recommend checking with your local government to see what is required for your specific area. You may also want to reach out to your Pampered Chef upline or fellow consultants for their experiences and advice. Best of luck with the fair!
