Thinking about trying a craft show sometime. Online research shows several pay sites for keeping up when and where on craft shows. Anyone use them? Any advice or preferred sites?

Re: Craft shows

Rob try craigslist. Do a search under Events. I have done a few different shows. I have not used one of the on-line craft sites.

Try "The Ronay Guide".

There is an online listing for a fee, I think. They also publish a hard copy for several states----the guide gives name, location, contact, fees, estimated attendance, and other information about the shows.

You may find it in a book store near you.

Re: Craft shows

This isn't exactly what you are asking for, but you will find some interesting reading here:

Even if you are doing stuff other than scrolling, it is pretty relevant.
