Too much or too little space can detract from the appeal your booth will generate.
Calculate square footage.
Fair booths are typically priced to rent according to size, and will be listed in 2 dimensions--width and length.
If the booth sizes are listed (in feet) as 10X10, 6X8 and 3X4, then the square footage of each booth is 100, 48 and 12, respectively. -
Step 2: Mark your calendar with important dates and times.
Include the dates of the fair, what time you need to arrive to set up, how late you're required to stay and any deadlines required to sign up for a booth at the fair. , Read it carefully and make sure you understand each responsibility both on your behalf and that of the organization running the fair.
The contract should outline exactly what's expected of you before, during and after the fair operation hours.

If you wait until the day of the fair, it may be too late to procure a refund if your concern would determine your participation.
