I think you need to check with home office before you advertise on the radio. They have guidelines for all advertising. Check the policies and procedures first, there's a link on CC.

According to CC, consultants are not allowed to advertise on the radio. The only exception is when radio time is provided with a booth or bridal fair. So it sounds like your situations meets the exception. it doesn't really go into specifics about it though, whether you have to advertise strictly for the fair or if you can just advertise your business in general. I would double check with HO just to be on the safe side. Cool opportunity though, hope it works out for you!
