How to Decorate a Mexican-Themed Booth to Attract More Visitors?

[AudraKYPCLady]

I am doing a booth on Saturday at a local craft fair and I have decided to add more shows to my calendar I am giving away a "Fun with Friends, Fajitas and a Fabulous Trifle" party every hour! That's 6 shows right there. (I will probably call everyone and tell them they won to see how many I can book). I will provide ingredients, all the fun and do all the invites/reminder calls as well.

What I need is some ideas to decorate my table to attract attention and excitement. So far I have peppers in the deep covered baker, I'm bringing a trifle bowl to put mexican candies in or something else, don't know yet. I am going to try to get my hands on a sombrero and a poncho to lay on the table. Throw out any ideas you might have. Thanks!

If you have a Party City near you, they have decor for Cinco de Mayo. We bought a table cloth there for our work celebration and it was only $3. They have streamers, balloons and other stuff too.

Go to the dollar store - you'll find lots of stuff you can use.

Well... I know I should consider the booth a total loss, but I strangely feel optimistic about it. I did not get one person to give me their info, did not sell one thing (didn't really expect to) and didn't book one show. I did however pass out about 30 old catalogs (with my info) and about 100 recipe cards (with my info). I talked to about a dozen people or more about how shows and PC is so different than 5-10 years ago when they last had a show, and even talked about several products that people asked about. A bunch of people said they would call me (I know the odds are not good for that) but I don't feel like it was a total wash.I got a huge margarita helium balloon and an orange table cloths as well as a poster board sign on the table that read "friends, fajitas, and margaritas" with a couple cute pictures. Also said, "enter to win one of six 'no hassle' shows". I was/am cooking the rush hour fajitas as well as a trifle to show off the bowl that will go on sale next month. I also make the margaritas that I got the recipe off of here. I have a show booked for 4/9 for this show that the crazy lady has been rescheduling since the beginning of November!
