How do you find out about booths and fairs in your area. I seem to be finding out about them only a few days before they occur.

Any websites that list them?
 
This has been discussed before. But typically I find mine from the local papers or the best way is to attend an event and talk with the other vendors. They are always willing to share places where they've had good business.

Even if you find it at the last minute - they may still have an opening - see if you can get in. If not, ask if you can be put on the list for the following year. And keep in contact with the person in charge of the event throughout the year.

Thanks, I was sure it was probably been discussed, I just couldn't find anything when I searched.
 
I belong to eventlister.com. I am always getting e-mail updates of new events in my area and have booked several craft fairs and booths through them!
 
Hi there! As a fellow pampered chef consultant, I completely understand your struggle with finding out about booths and fairs in your area. One resource that I have found to be helpful is to join local community groups or event pages on social media. Often, organizers will post about upcoming events in these groups and it's a great way to stay updated. Additionally, you can try reaching out to your local chamber of commerce or town/city hall to see if they have a list of upcoming events. Another option is to do a simple Google search for "craft fairs near me" or "vendor events in [your area]" and see what comes up. I hope these suggestions help and good luck with your future booth and fair opportunities!
