the posting:

I have been noticing a lot of people asking about how to find out about upcoming craft fairs lately. I am constantly on the look out for resourceful craft show websites so I decided to compile a list of sites that I know of as well as other craft show links. Hope people find this helpful. And please feel free to add to this list. I will most likely update it at the end of the day with any additions. (more after the jump...)
