Has anyone ever started their own fair - how did it work and what did you all have to do???
 
yes... many of us have.

Do you know many people in Direct sales? Get together and chat about some things you could do.

First you need a location & check on advertising costs. This will help determine how many tables/booths you can have and get an idea of cost.

I would get a copy of all attendees insurance (like we have thru PC) or there is also a form thru most states that is like a release of liability form. (I have to fill one out when I do the county fair and Chamber of commerce events)
