Congratulations! You have taken the first big step in becoming part of your local county's selling force! It is a big challenge, let me tell you beforehand, but the rewards for taking this endeavor is both conducive for your mind and for your soul. There will be frustrations, but there will also be rewards for the experience that you will go through. But you need to plan your actions first.
First and foremost, contact your town's administrator regarding the festival details, especially in cases like renting out spaces or tables within the grounds. It's a very expensive deal, but its a great opportunity for you to get yourself known and to sell your stuff at the same time. Beats going to the mall for a three day sale on your stuff in which people hardly know even existed.
The table. The usual topic that is spawned into the discussion regarding entering fair grounds craft selling. You will need your table particulars as you will have to map out how much you can display in your personal space and how much you have to keep in stock behind you. Position and height aside, tables usually vary around the length of six feet; though some festivals (especially prolific ones) will have a smaller length.
Now do what you can to improve on this space. Add some accouterments, some dimension and some height to finish the topic. Let yourself get as much creative as possible with this project, because it is your time to express yourself through your craft. Add gusto and personal flavor to your design. Be as gaudy and as reckless as possible, let no one stop you. Because you are the creator and you have all the rights in the world to do what you want!
Wooden crates are an excellent way to heighten (pun intended) the details on your table. Plastic...well, a bit of a so-so, since structure-wise, they could easily cave into pressure and thus weaken the foundation of what can be assumed is a very good table with a decent design. Height also makes your table look a little less crowded if you're stuffing it in. Try it out and see for yourself.
