Houston puts out a multipaged flier (August 29th paper) on the booths, craft fairs in this area during the fall and then again in the spring. Call your paper and see if they have anything similar. Many are at churches... call churches and find out when theirs is if they have one. Once you start going.. you can ask everyone at the fair if they know of any others in the future. I went to one last weekend.. everyone was asking if I was going to the one this weekend.
I make copies of a blank calendar..and plot when this one is.. and when that one is.. then I decide which one to book. I also call for prices. They usually only want one PC person at each function... but if you get in.. they will notify you before next year and you get first chance to get another booth next year.. At least that is how it is here. So I am the exclusive one at several bazaars/craft fairs. That works out great!! Hope this helps.
