E-mail John Wright if you know a good fair to add to this list
For North American fairs, I have few dates for regular US fairs.
Since events are occasionally cancelled, postponed or moved to another
location, it is recommended you confirm with the show organizer that the event
will take place as scheduled before undertaking extensive travel.
