What are you planning on taking to sell? I do shows a lot so I may be able to help you out a little. Make sure to take the following items. There is nothing worse to get out there and need one of these and not have it.

Tape
Pens
Stapler
Calculator
Receipt Book
Blank paper
Big signs with prices, etc.
If you hand make your items, make sure to make a sign stating that.
Table Clothes
Chair if one is not provided

Anyways, if I can be of any other help, please let me know.

Don't be nervous. You'll have a great time visiting with people and with the other vendors. Watch for shoplifters. My wife is a jewelry designer and we have something stolen at almost every show.

Spend some time at home working out how you want to display your stuff.

CPWALTON's list is good, but I have a couple of things to add:

Water to drink
A snack
Change (as in cash)
A tape measure and your tools depending on what you are selling

I have found these shows to be tough this year. Seems like everyone and their dog is having a sale, so the crowds are light.
