My director and I have decided to put on our own job fair/ craft show. We are not sure what to call it for advertising purposes. We have about 13 vendors so far.
What would you say on the fliers and newspaper advertising? It isn't neccesarily direct sales as I have a realtor wanting to set up. I cannot find anything in the files that may have been typed up already that I could adjust.
Any ideas, greatly appreciated.

I like "Spring Bazaar" if you call it a craft fair, some people will be disappointed if the find out there are no handmade crafts for sale.

I need for it to reflect that it is a job fair also. That is why I am desperate for some ideas.
 
By job fair, you mean the direct selling vendors are recruiting?

yes. There are some job fairs that have been advertised recently and they are having each direct sales have a packet ready for the people to come and ask questions about their biz. The booths for these other fairs are $225 and they are not guaranteeing one person per company. I won't work a booth if there will be more than one PC booth. So my director and I have decided to have our own job fair but to draw more people to come we want to include the crafters.
 
I am doing a booth this weekend and the event is called "Bling in the Spring"
 
I've gone to craft fair/ business expo events. And both home based businesses and direct sales were there.
