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)
