Re: BoothsAlso check your local high schools. Alot of clubs are holding fairs now (I'm doing one on 3/21 for one's school's student trip to Spain, there's another one for another school's band boosters at the end of May). Our local volunteer fire departments also have fairs or yard sales to raise funds.
