I went online and looked up local elementary schools and high schools. I mailed (or emailed) the VP of Fundraising of the PTO to introduce myself and to let them know that I do fundraisers as a PC Consultant. I've gotten a craft fair or two that way.
Also, every time I meet a consultant for another direct sales company, I get her email address and tell her that I would send her any info on local craft fairs if she would do the same. I've gotten quite a few craft fairs this holiday season this way.
I've also kept an eye out at the grocery store bulletin boards (I saw some craft fair ads there, unfortunately, all of them already had a PC person).
